Had a good stay. It was pretty much as advertised so we really enjoyed it. Communication with our host was excellent It does get a little cold (old style bach so is expected) but there was plenty of fire wood so we kept cosy and warm. A perfect place to stay if you like staying in a truly authentic kiwi bach! Would easily stay again.

Great, unique bach

This is our second time staying here - the kids were really little when we first stayed. Now they are both at uni. A great place for the family to hang out. Clean, comfortable, quirky and warm. We never got bored. Highly recommended!

Great base for a mountain trip.

The cottage was just what we were looking for and lived up to its description and photos. What you can't get from the listing is how great the kitchen feels when it's cold out, the fire is going and you have the whole family together there. Reading in one of the rocking chairs next to the roaring fire is time well wasted.
