Fantastic stay

We had a fantastic stay - a cosy house even when the weather was wet. The log fire was great at keeping the place warm. Plenty of space, quiet and lovely birdsong to wake us up. Close to the Main Street, so easy walking to the shops and cafes (highly recommend the Running Duck for food). We will definitely be staying again!

Calm stay with everything you'd want

Great property with an interesting history shown in the decor. Lots of things provided to do in and around the house for families. Well equipt kitchen. Nice areas to sit outside with comfy chairs. Very close to geraldine centre so can walk for a meal/drink/coffee. The whole town has some interesting history. Really enjoyed our time there.

Good location.

Great little house close to town. Only knock was the cleanliness with a large list of jobs expected from the owner before leaving, such as vacuuming, washing tea towels etc, which showed.

Perfect base in Geraldine

We have stayed at Kay's bach before and it was just as great this time. So much to do in the area and this is the perfect base to do so. It is a quintessential kiwi bach - warm, comfortable, unpretentious and very relaxing. Only a couple of blocks to town, cafes, market etc. Definitely recommend. I am sure we will be back. Thanks.

Geraldine's Hidden Treasure

This centrally located, clean, well appointed cottage is loaded with understated charm and accommodations to very comfortable living. Pared with the fascinating history of the property, the cottage itself and its expansive & private back yard, you ate left wanting nothing. Its an ideal location to base your explorations of the Cantebury region. I recommend this property to both shodt and longer-term travellers. Kay, a gem herself, is helpful and quick to resoond. You won't be disappointed.
