Nice batch in St. Arnaud

The host was amazing at getting ready the batch for us in one day notice. The place is nice and warm. Despite we only stayed one night, I think it's a good place to stay while exploring the surroundings.

Good location but stay a few days or expensive

Cabin in the woods as described, kiwi bach vibe with a good wood burner which was definitely needed even in April as the bush shades the property. Basic cost fine but with the mandatory cleaning fee for just a one-night stay was pricey when you also add booking fee.

Are is absolutely amazing, great natural NZ Bush around the area. Be aware the house relies on rainwater that is taken off the roof. It is safe to drink but I recommend bringing your own drinking water with you.
