Jan 19, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy A beautiful lifestyle property — very nice, clean, and equipped with high‑quality bedding. The moment we opened the door, we instantly felt the owners’ care for their guests! The location is great too if you prefer to stay close to the town centre without being right in it. Our kids enjoyed the company of the rooster, and there were lots of New Zealand native birds around us, plus plenty of rabbits. Thank you so much! ##### Ben Y. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Birender S. Nov 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Excellent property. Part of the great outdoors . In the middle of a Kiwi sanctuary and we heard them at night !! The resident rooster provided great entertainment ! The house is really well appointed with all facilities . Lovely grounds .The kitchen and toilets are great . The bedrooms are awesome . We had a lovely time experience . Away from the world and in very peaceful location along a river . We would love to visit again . Very adequate for us and we were a group of 6 people . ##### Birender S.
