Independent in Aotuhia from NZ$164

"A great affordable holiday for our family of 6. Evan is a friendly host. We particularly enjoyed the walk through the bush around the little lake. Inside the house, the fire is warm, the shower is a good pressure and we had all we needed. It does get cold overnight though so keep the fire going. My only issue would be the squeaky red bunks - one needs tightening up as it’s a bit wobbly. Other than that, thanks for the memories!"

"Well first of all there was nothing to dislike. Mill cottage is a very quiet place wonderful for a few days away from town. A true rural environment with everything that you wish for in the way of provisions. The resident cat called kitten is very friendly. We took our dog with us and eventually two of them got on well together! Thanks to the host Amanda this was a wonderful stay. "

"For a unique experience, this was cute cosy and warm. Owner is a nice guy"

"We had a wonderful time in the Bridge house. It met our needs to our own space. it was warm and comfortable. only problem was Bookabatch payment system that rejected second payment on two different cards. Still looking for a way to pay host the rest of the money.Please contact me at ross@amocelebrany.nz"

"The Butchers shop was a great place to stay to see and do lots on the Forgotten Highway. Close to the famous pub, it was clean cosy and very comfortable. Great place to stay!"

"I don’t think I could have found a nicer place to stay. I was looking for an ‘ away from city’ stay and this ticked all the boxes. Owners are warm and welcoming and incredibly helpful. They live upstairs but interact only if and when you want them to. Nothing is too much trouble. I fed the deer, sheep chickens and quails so if you are an animal person, this is utopia. The unit itself has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. They have thought of everything. Bed was really comfortable with quality bedding and lots of pillow choices. I plan on coming back in spring I loved it that much. "
