Book a Owen River Cottage

"Wonderful stay and beautiful area to explore especially the lakes and rivers. "

"The room was clean with lots of natural light & a view of the surrounding hills. Sitting on the verandah we were serenaded by birds including blackbirds and magpies."

"We spent three nights at the Bellbird Bach and had a fabulous time. Instructions are very clear, beds are comfortable, and the place had everything we needed. The heating systems are very good and kept us comfortable despite the spring storm. The surroundings are beautiful and very peaceful. The lake is a short walk away."

"Nice quiet cabin. Didn't see the owner til the day we check out. Quiet warm cabin for the recent cold front at Murchison. Good coffee. "

"The whole experience was great. As soon as we drove into the site we could see that it was modern and spacious. Even though there were only 2 of us, we were given a 2 bedroom apartment which was huge. The kitchen was very well equipped, the lounge was large, the bed was a super king and the shower was excellent. Ample parking."

"We had a really great time at this lovely bach. It's light, warm and in an excellent location."

"We had a lovely stay at Lake Station. The cottage was cosy, clean, and had everything we (5 adults and 1 labradoodle) needed and more. We enjoyed the wood burner when it was chilly, and bean chairs on the deck when it was sunny. The dog loved bounding around the lawns. Check in was straight-forward, and instructions and communication were clear. Just a short drive to Lake Rotoiti, so convenient for exploring the park. We would happily go back again."

"Despite being unwell and it raining all day we had a great time in the bus. It is beautifully decorated and quirky, something unique and different to the usual short term rental experience. It was lovely to sit and recover and watch the river flow by as we ate delicious lemonade fruit that was provided (seriously they are so good, some of the best fruit we have ever had). The kids loved the bus and unusual layout and despite not getting to use it much the grounds were also nice. Murchison as a town surprised us too, lovely cafes and nice people. The owners were very nice and communicative and obviously care about doing a good job. Theres a few little niggles around functionality but they are small and add to the charm really. recommend"

"Absolutely wonderful! Tracey and Steve were the best hosts ever. Loved the cabin, trails and the quiet. Would definitely stay there again."
