Perfect for post Heaphy rest and relaxation!

We really enjoyed our stay at Fenian Retreat. The house is spotlessly clean and very very comfortable, with a beautiful outlook over farmland to the ocean.

Great place for a pit stop

We stayed here as stop between the north and Alps of the South Island. The host left great instructions, but I did struggle to find bins and guide for the kitchen. It was very comfortable, with great wifi and all you need. Exactly what we wanted!

Beautiful stay

Great location, short walk to restaurants and bars. Very clean and modern accommodation, highly recommended. The only negative is that we didn’t stay long enough, will make up for it next time.

Cosy Bach

The perfect place to be cosy when its raining and close to beautiful walks and mountain bike riding when its not. The Granity Gallery had some very talented artists, including weaving. We even had the fire on for one really cold and wet Nov day and with the sound of the train gently go through every now and then (no night train). I was worried the kitchen would be too small to cook in but it had everything you could need. Thanks Marie!
