The studio is a converted container and looks deceiving as inside it is well decked out , clean and warm and well appointed. Jan and Bill are lovely people and couldn't have done any more for us. The view was fab too. Well worth a visit.

Hi Gillian we’re wondering what you mean by the comment on the hot water system? The hot water to the unit comes from the house and is run by gas - we’re disappointed by the low rating particularly when other guests either side of you have given us 10/10 - sadly this negatively affects our rating as a host

Great rural spot close to town

Great spot to enjoy a rural setting but still be close to town. Everything you need in the container and the fenced area outside for the dog was great. The hosts were very friendly and the place was nice and private.

Lovely, quiet location - great hosts!

We loved the location, the hosts were very friendly and accommodating, and the accommodation was ideal for our two-night stay. We appreciated the little things like having tea/coffee/fruit bursts provided. We also loved the dogs, cats and birds that the owners have!

Very kind and accommodating hosts. Had all the kitchen and bathroom amenities we needed. Loved the rural setting with our bovine neighbors and lovely birdsong throughout the day. Had a wonderful stay and the town of Tokoroa has everything we needed for groceries, gas, etc.
