A very comfortable cottage for 2. The fireplace and a heatpump were much appreciated in the winter climate during cold evenings and chilly mornings. The highway is a good distance away so a good night sleep is assured. Clean and tidy. The carport helped keeping the car windows ice free in the mornings although the parking for a larger vehicle could be quite tight. Good outdoor space for the warmer times of the year.

Perfect holiday homestay

The house is beautifully decorated and well looked after, which makes it a cosy home-like place to stay. Located in a quiet village, 5 mins away from a picturesque reserve walk along the river, surrounded by the peaceful neighbourhood and the birds singing. The premises are well equipped with everything you need - cookware, cutlery, washing line, and a beautiful outdoor dining area. The host is very helpful and welcoming, answering all of the questions we had. Definitely will stay again when visiting New Zealand next time.

2024/2025

Came in 2024 and left in 2025. Managed to pick up a few days in Turangi to catch up with South Island friends, so accommodation was used primarily for sleeping which was achieved with great ease given the bach is on a nice quiet street. Easy walk to local cafe and walks along the river. Can recommend.
