Beautiful location, cosy home

We had a lovely stay here. It was spacious and warm, and really enjoyed the fireplace and great kitchen facilities. There were a few glitches with the hot water but the agent was quick to resolve this for us. Thank you!

Family holiday

Our family group of 6 had a comfortable stay. There is plenty of room for large groups, shower was amazing and the house was nice and warm. The location is a little outside of Raetihi and next to an old cemetery which didn’t bother us. The house seems to have been recently refurbished so the kitchen and bathrooms were clean and nice to use. We Had some issues with check in. My brother was trying to text the manager from an international phone and she wasn’t able to respond so be aware that if you are using an international number, you will need to call. Some things to be aware of: there is no TV (just a very old TV set for playing dvds on) and there are internet usage charges if you go over the cap. Neither of these things bothered us and overall we had a very pleasant stay.
