Our stay in Cass was amazing. Berrie was great and very helpful too. We had to stay an extra night because of snow-related road closures, and Berrie was happy to have us stay. We'll definitely go again. Thanks, Berrie

If you want a peaceful place to stay but easy to get to, Barry's wee cottage/prefab is fabulous. It was great to disconnect for a quiet weekend of walking and reading.

We stayed in Cottage #1, it was comfortable ,super clean, everything we needed was there and worked, so that was much appreciated. But the real bonus staying here is getting to meet Barrie, the host - he was friendly, welcoming and great to talk to. If you are in the area, this is the place to stay.

The cottage is brilliant and really well equipped. Far more provided than anticipated. Lovely ambience around and so much to do outdoors in the area. Owner and his staff are excellent at what they do. Would return again tomorrow if we could!

Thank you for the lovely little cottage! It had everything we needed, and it was so nice to arrive to a warm home — a special thank you for having the heater on.We also really enjoyed the lovely view, which can be admired through the panoramic windows in the lounge/kitchen and bedroom.The only small suggestion would be to mop the floors occasionally. Everything else was clean and vacuumed, but the bathroom floor looked as though it had not been mopped for some time. I imagine that many guests may keep their shoes on inside; however, we prefer to be barefoot at home, especially in the bathroom.Other than that, we were very happy with our stay. Thank you!

Great location. Although advertised as a caravan park the advertisement gave the impression that the cabin was little bit more private than it was. We had a van parked outside our living area window so had to have the curtains closed most of the time. Other than that we loved our stay. Not far from Arthur’s Pass and the trekking that we wanted to do. No toiletries or milk supplied as in most accomodation we have stayed in.

This little but beautiful cottage is just what a couple needs to getaway from their usual lives or to celebrate an anniversary, as my Wife and I did. Very clean room/s, some of the best views right outside your windows and so very quiet. This place will definitely keep you at peace. The drive to the cottage is very pleasant and along the way to the cottage you get met with beautiful mountain terrain. Close to a few nice lakes and not far from Arthur's Pass either. Barrie is a great host and really does an amazing job at keeping everything maintained, even the mini golf was fun. Best way to really find out about this place, is quite simple... Book when you can and see for yourself.
