We loved our stay here. The view out the window was fantastic especially when the sheep were right there. We were greeted upon arrival by a very sweet puppy and got to meet the cat as well. We were very comfortable and would definitely stay again.

A lovely house, clean and beautifully equipped with all the home comforts. The welcome chocolates and wine were a lovely touch. We loved the location and the beautiful scenery. A short 5 minute drive into town it was good to be away from all the tourist buses. Can highly recommend.

From the minute we booked the house, Latasha was attentive and welcoming. It is so refreshing to be able to meet kind and thoughtful hosts. The house was in a perfect location, close enough to town but far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet. We will definitely rebook next time we visit the area.

Lovely home. Everything was clean and comfortable. Very short drive into the town. Welcome gift of wine and chocolate was very much appreciated. Perfect spot for a family or small group. Loved the views. If you drive a little further up the road there is a spectacular lookout over the hills and lake. Amazing.

We’ll make sure it’s easier to find for future guests. Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d love to host you anytime!

This is the perfect space for a weekend away. Only a couple minutes drive into the main town with quiet surroundings. Well appointed amenities set on a beautiful property. Views of the snow top mountains and farm animals a plenty. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this renovated home. It was absolutely picturesque and the hosts were amazing. We’ll be back for sure! 10/10 recommend!
