    Location was quiet and beautiful. Helen is a generous host and very welcoming. The accommodation itself was luxurious and extremely clean and comfortable. Lovely to have continental breakfast options as well. Beds are so comfortable, great shower pressure, and opportunity for a beautiful bath.

    Our mistake, we didn't realize there was no living space. A couple of chairs to sit on inside would be good.

    Beautiful BNB. Lovely bedrooms and bathroom. Kitchenette had everything needed. Host was friendly 🙂

    Set high on a hill above Oamaru but unfortunately no views from the rooms and not really easy to walk to town.

    Helen was very welcoming and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. Great attention to detail throughout the space. Large, luxurious bathroom.

    There really wasn't much I didn't like.

    Helen is a wonderful host. Arriving on work placement and not knowing the town it was so lovely Helen was able to help me so much. From picking me up from the bus, to providing me with fresh food from her garden to making sure I was comfortable and taken care of every day. The accomodation was more than comfortable it met all my needs and more and was top notch

    We didn’t realise it is just a part of a house without a living space. Thats our bad for not being more careful when booking! So we would have liked a dining area for our weekend - but the facilities of 2 bedrooms (with a tea-making space and fridge etc) and a shared bathroom were excellent.

    Spotlessly clean. New build. Comfortable rooms. Host made us feel very welcome. She provided generously for breakfasts which we could make in the room.
