An excellent place to stay. Very clean and warm. It was a quick hop to Temuka, which had a lot of second hand shops and a cool skate park for kids. We loved the views of the mountains and seeing the cows each day. The kitchen was more than expected and the kids and I enjoyed several games of UNO, thanks for that:)Highly recommended

Stayed on my way south from Christchurch. Everything was very comfy and clean, and the farm view in the morning was nice :) I'd love to come back and spend a vacation weekend here.

Fantastic stay from start to finish. The place was spotless, well-organised, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Communication with the host was excellent - they were friendly, responsive, and very accommodating. The property itself is lovely and peaceful, and the cows were a charming bonus! We’d happily stay again.

Graham's little cabin is perfect as we have family just down the road. Great to be rural and peaceful after a busy day. We will always stay here if available on our visits.

Arles Nook deserves huge kudos. While the place itself is new, clean, tidy, private, and comfy it's the location and views of a working farm that are fabulous. Grab a glass of wine, sit at the picnic table on the deck and just watch nature happen. It's great! We'll be back for sure.

Rural getaway

We really enjoyed our stay in this, peaceful rural location. The place was spotless and a good size for a couple. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, looking our over padocks to the hills.

Lovely little bach. Warm, clean, well equipped. Perfect size and facilities for 2 people. 5min max drive to Temuka and 20mins to Timaru. Lovley rural outlook. Faces away from main property so plenty of privacy. We would definately stay again:)
