Communication with our host prior to our stay was excellent and check in very straight forward. Our group consisted of 3 couples and 1 single and the house worked perfectly for us.The large and well equipped kitchen was particularly helpful and everyone really valued the beautiful surroundings. A great place to share with family and friends.

Lovely home in beautiful surroundings

We loved our stay here. Hesta was just amazing and so lovely. The home is perfect and has everything you need. The wood fire of an evening was cosy and a treat for the little ones. We even had mobile reception.

Waihima

A beautiful house with impressive views all around of the river, pastures, and hills. Very comfortable, quiet, and clean. It was definitely out in the country and a bit of a drive, but an excellent place to stay and well worth the excursion.

A tremendous stay in a beautiful home…

This is a great place to stay - it surpasses the pictures in the advertisement. Host was friendly and a clear communicator. We had a lovely relaxing week here, with family joining us. Beautiful sunsets and evening meals on the deck. So close the Timber Trail - one of NZ’s great rides and a must see/do experience. The sound of the river chuckling and gurgling at the bottom of the property was a delightful accompaniment to the sounds of the native birds in the garden.

A lovely "cottage" in a great location.

This is a wonderful place in an attractive location, handy for us with our interest in the area. The only negative aspect is not having gas in the gas bottle for the barbeque, especially when you've planned on using it for several meals. Getting a refill isn't easy in this area!

Response from VrboOwner on 9 Feb 2024
Hi , my apologies that a gas bottle was not there there should have been one and if it was empty I could have replaced it for you had I know during your stay. We will endeavour to keep better eye on it in the future Thanks

Uninterrupted, Beautiful and Bountiful Property

It is a Beautiful house with Amazing views and very useful decking all around. Private access to the river which runs by the property. This property has an exclusive view to star gazing right on its property. We haven’t seen this kind of Milky Way before. Kids were thrilled to see so many stars. Property is secluded in the mountains, very private, uninterrupted views right from the Lounge and Main bedroom. Immaculate Kitchen and Lounge. Three Toilets and two showers makes it so convenient with bigger group like us. Dish Washer, Washing Machine and dryer came in very handy. Good quality sheets and Bedding. Overall would rate 10/10 and planning to visit again. Generous, Friendly and Kind Hosts, who go an extra mile to help.

Something to consider.

We absolutely aroha this property so much that my friends are going to re-book. What I did consider though is, we paid a fee to clean, but guest still had to strip their beds and take their rubbish. That seems extremely high on top of nightly fee.
