Great retreat for the family!
Our family had an absolute ball at the schoolhouse. It is lovely to learn more about the history and explore the area and river. We would love to come back! Thank you so much for a wonderful wind down before the silly season!

It called Riverside Luxury and you can't see the river at all. The heat pump didn't work and we froze. Paid for two night but had to move out after one.

This was a lovely quiet property, very well appointed and with lovely outdoor space for family games. Beds were very comfortable and the high ceilings are awesome and keep it cool.

A super tranquil property and very unique. Facilities surpassed my expectations. The thoughtfullness and kindness from Ange was breathtaking as she kindly helped my daughter in England, who requested flowers, wine and a hand written card for my 70th birthday! Thank you so much. It really made my day very special. The area is sublimely quiet and beautiful and the deck and marvelous lawn were very well used! Superb, Kath and Steve 😊

Not the best value
Had to come for nationals - booked 2 nights, a Lock down caused a scramble for new dates - had little to no feedback from Ange causing much anxiety - she did not confirm we could get half refund when we only needed 1 night instead of 2, and instead seemed to book the whole $800 for one night - ended up taking 2 nights just to make use of it. Not very reasonable in my opinion. Struggled to get any communication, even through Bookabach. At the house the BBQ regulator knob does not work and is a safety hazard. House itself very clean and good finishes, but be aware it's still a converted hall so feels utilitarian. Towels in only one bathroom - not the other. Good spot (about the same as any lifestyle block in NZ) but not sure about value. Booked in the Auckland Hilton in a suit for the next night for the same money per night. Apparently there is what I assume to be hard wired internet but no wifi, so no internet for most. A sign encourages you to load up on mobile data at your own cost - but with 1 bar of 3G that won’t really mean much either. Rest of the tech also pre-digital so not really usable. Mention is made of ‘kiwi tradition’ to ask you to clean the place, while also agreeing to do a full Covid pre check-in clean, and charging a cleaning fee - for a Luxury unit - not sure you can have it both ways. About 3 and a half stars over all.

Beautiful getaway
We wanted to stay in Hastings but wanted to try something different from the usual motel. This was beautiful right by the river which has lots of trout and eels in it. Peaceful away from the hustle and bustle. Be sure to punch into GPS the school house 242 Rochfort Road because there is another Rochfort Road which is 25mins away.

Fantastic getaway
Spring was the perfect time to visit. Horses with their foals, sheep, blossom trees and green pastures. Stunning scenery and location. Enjoyed biking the riverside trail from Craggy Range to the beach. The house was fantastic and tastefully transformed from historic school hall into comfortable accommodation. We can’t say enough positive things, the whole family loved it.
