    The shower is a bit of a hazard. No soap except for hand soap at the basin.

    Although it was very cold the cottage heated up quickly with the heaters. The bedding was lovely and without an electric blanket we slept warm. Mountain view with snow was wonderful.

    This was a nostalgic stay for us as this was my husbands Nannas house in the fifties and sixties and we were delighted to see the furnishings and decor were in keeping with its past and the large walnut tree was still there. We felt some information on the history of the cottage and local activities and places of interest would be beneficial.

    It’s been clean but we felt a deep cleansing and letting air flowing through more often would be recommended as there was a smell inside the cottage. Unfortunately we also realized that not all guest seem to leave the dish in clean state (also cleansing material needs change)

    Very cute cottage near by the road with historical charm based as it has granny’s interior :-) A lot of space and all that is needed. Very nice a big garden behind the cottage.

    It would be nice if Wi-Fi and shampoo and body wash were available, but it's understandable not to.

    The house is clean and comfortable, suitable for a family.

    Comfortable cosy accommodation

    We were a little disappointed to find there was no longer a washing machine, particularly when there is no laundromat in town. As we are travelling for an extended time from Australia, I had purposely booked accommodation where we could catch up on washing. Down to our last set of undies and socks. 🤣Perhaps if you are not planning to replace the washing machine it might be a good idea to update the listing information to avoid disappointing future guests.

    As stated in the information on the website, the property does not offer mod cons. It is a traditional stone cottage with limited modern additions. That said, the property was clean, bed was comfortable with an electric blanket and warm quilts. The weather was quite cold during our stay but the rooms have free standing heaters which worked a treat making the rooms cosy. Excellent hot water and good water pressure in the shower. Cooking facilities were suitable for fixing our own meals. It’s probably worth mentioning there are a couple of steps between the rooms and a very high step to enter the shower. Not an issue for us but might be for anyone with mobility limitations. Thanks for the opportunity to stay in a traditional cottage.

    We would love to have had the heaters on when we arrived. It was bitterly cold when we walked in. A few more glasses etc in the cupboard would have been great

    We liked the history. It was very cosy once the heaters were put on. Very pretty cottage. The bed was warm and comfortable.

    Good communication. We found the key easily and had all facilities we required. The washing machine worked well and there was a shed to store bikes. Stove worked well and beds very comfortable. Bathroom clean with great shower

    There are fruit trees out the back in an orchard garden but if feel like a fresh central otago pear? Go to the supermarket! The neighbour will tell you in no uncertain terms that they're not for guests!

    Great little spot, comfy bed and on a cold night great to sit by the fireplace heater in antique chairs

    It was hot weather when we were there and several of the windows either didn't open enough or didn't open at all so it was hard to get it cool enough. It is right on the main road so traffic noise is loud in the front rooms but the back of the house is quiet

    The house is old and fully of character. The plum tree in the back garden had the best plums I have ever had. The gardens were lovely. It was close to the river for nice walks and walking distance to town.
