Holiday

Pleasant place to stay, facilities all good, there are some quirks with the place to get used to. There are campers out the back, but it is an opportunity to meet people if you want to.

A great location

There was 7 of us including 3 children. The villa was warm and cozy loved having a fire for when it got colder at night. Fabulous kitchen with everything you could need. The location was fantastic right in the middle but out of the hustle and bustle. So relaxing and peaceful with plenty of activities right on your doorstep. Kate was so friendly and super helpful nothing was a problem, She had great knowledge of things to do and see. We will absolutely be back to stay in the future. Highly recommend

We loved this property.

We loved this property. It was perfect for our needs. We had a large group and so we booked out the house and dorms. The location is perfect - the middle of everywhere but away from everything. The host has thought of everything, so we didn't want for anything. I loved the jars of homemade relishes, jams and fruit available for sale.

Location's great - peaceful and quiet, but the unseasonal heat was making an otherwise great house a little uncomfortable. We'll chalk that one up to the weatherman though :-)

The property is a wee piece of paradise well placed between Hokitika and Greymouth.

The property is a wee piece of paradise well placed between Hokitika and Greymouth. Being dog friendly is a huge plus. The cottage is adorable and super-comfy. Only thing is you feel really guilty if you're warm and dry inside the house while it's raining and others are out in the open (but covered) communal kitchen just outside the window!
