Stayed Apr 23, 2025Cute little cottage in a stunning part of NZ, with very welcoming and helpful hosts. Loved the retro wallpapers, easy access to our own star gazing right outside the door.

Stayed Feb 23, 2025A comfy cabin, but communication was not great. For example, I had to ask twice for the address and directions before our trip (with spotty internet, we wanted it on hand). Sue finally sent it, but said she typically only gives that info out the day before arrival. Once we got there, we had a few minor issues. The light was burned out in the bedroom. I emailed and Sue said she’d drop off a new bulb the next day, but she didn’t. We ended up swapping out a bulb from another room. There was about an inch of watered-down body wash in an old bottle in the shower -- I asked Sue if she had any more, and she said she planned on buying some the next day (which she did). It felt odd. Why not replace it before we got there? The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans but had no staples, not even salt and pepper. There was a list of house rules but no info about resources or restaurants in town -- some local guidance would have been nice. Sue lives on the property, but we never met until we passed her in the driveway on our way out. Previous guests have described warm interactions with the hosts, but that was not our experience. It felt vaguely like we were an inconvenience and had come at a bad time. It’s a cozy place and the starry sky at night is lovely, but we were pretty much on our own.

Stayed Feb 2, 2025This cottage is on the owners beautiful family farm. If you’re a retro lover you’ll be thrilled with the authentic 70’s decor. The cottage was perfectly equipped and really great for getting away from it all .

Stayed Dec 31, 1969Everything we needed was there (including a washing m/c which not ALL bachs provide). Nice enough distance out of town (Tekapo) for peace and quiet and great for drooling over the Milky Way and counting shooting stars :)

Stayed Dec 31, 1969Loved being on a farm and all that that entails... Sheep and chook feeding was so much fun for our wee kids. So quiet and peaceful; a real break.
