Great winter break

Spacious and clean and tidy. Beautiful views and scenery and lots of walks to do around the area, even in winter. Close to the base of Mt Hutt. Very happy we stayed here and would come back again.

Winter Getaway

Easy to book and communication was excellent. We however took a while to find the place so some instructions as part of booking would be great. A few appliances were not working but that did not detract from the visit. Warm, very tidy, exquisite views. Great place to stay.

Great Property but a Few Bumps in Process

The unit we rented was very hard to locate and the lock box didnt work. The host included a map, but wasnt clear to us in the dark where to go. The roads are hard to locate and GSP doesnt take you to the unit. There were no food markets and the clubhouse was closed the whole time we stayed there. Which was the only place to get food. Since we couldnt get into our unit with the lock being broken, we had to change units. The host was helpfull- we had to call her many times.

Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback, Jodi. We apologize if you struggled to find the unit at night despite the provided map and that the lockbox failed to open—requiring a unit change and repeated calls was far from ideal. We'll continue to prioritize communication, while immediately improving arrival instructions with clearer landmarks and testing or replacing all lockboxes. We truly value your insights and hope to have the chance to provide a much smoother stay in the future.
