New & clean

Nice host, good location. Environs etc need improving if they want to charge the price they are.

4.0

The location suited what we needed to do in the area and into CHCH. The host was friendly and informative.

Lucky we had a 4x4 as the driveway was rough. The view off the balcony of weeds and thistles and weeds coming up through the deck not good - also the view of the moldy water tank and burn pile disappointing. The deck railing is for show, don't lean on it. Not secured properly. A drain that came down the outside of the building either side of the bed - drip drip all night. Front step broken. Rotten beam, rubber underlay and bricks laying around outside. For over $200 a night - not what we should have expected - disappointing. We have stayed in many similar rural locations and buildings (including converted shipping containers) that have better tidy environs and have been maintained, that cost less per night.

Lovely quiet location. Our host even provided us with a ride to and from an event we came down to attend. We had the perfect much-needed girls' weekend!

Simple but impressive

Nice and simple cabin in the woods. It has a spacious terrace where we enjoyed stargazing at night and eating our breakfast in the morning. Location's a bit remote, but we prefer it that way.
