### Holiday Home in Nelson Lakes- a peaceful bushy retreat in St Arnaud. 

10/10 Excellent

"Simply gorgeous. Very well thought out space. Exceptionally clean. Very warm. Enjoyed the local walks, down by the lake is suitable for pram. A little temporary baby proofing would be required by guests if the baby could crawl- which would be doable without bringing anything extra. Luckily our baby can’t quite crawl. It was all the soul goodness of hiking without carrying baby up a mountain. Hope to stay again. "

"What an absolute beautiful spot. Our host was so welcoming and gave clear instructions. The property is so well set up and has clear instructions throughout. The heating systems were great.

### Lake Station House-Cosy Farm House nestled into Lake Station

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at Lake Station. The cottage was cosy, clean, and had everything we (5 adults and 1 labradoodle) needed and more. We enjoyed the wood burner when it was chilly, and bean chairs on the deck when it was sunny. The dog loved bounding around the lawns. Check in was straight-forward, and instructions and communication were clear. Just a short drive to Lake Rotoiti, so convenient for exploring the park. We would happily go back again."
