Great host who was very helpful. Cottage was very clean and had all amenities. No tv was a disappointment to one of us but did mean I got my book read! 😃 a wonderful quiet environment with beautiful native Bush walks. The native birds were a real treat. The scenery was over beautifully manicured farmland.

The view is amazing! We had a fabulous time. The cabin is warm. We loved the extra snuggle blankets and wrapped up in them to watch shooting stars on the deck at night. Everything was clean. The kitchen is user friendly. It was great to have the coffee maker as there is nowhere close for a real coffee. We had fun playing board games, that was a lovely touch. The hosts are super friendly. We absolutely loved our stay, thank you so much!

Beautiful outlook

The cottage we had at this property was comfortable and well-equipped. Being some way out in the country the outlook over farmland was very peaceful with the only sound to be heard that of birdsong. Not having a TV was great (no temptation to watch mindlessly); the only minor downside being the lighting could have been a bit brighter to make reading easier.

It was peaceful overlooking a paddock of sheep with bush all around and no one else in sight. It was well worth travelling off the beaten track.

Remote cabin with a beautiful view.

The resort is in a self contained area of bush several kilometers off the main road. We had an individual cabin a hundred meters from anyone else, that looked out of rolling hills and farmland. The cabin had a full kitchen and was very comfortable. There was no TV, which actually added to the peaceful, serene nature of the accommodation. The owners were extremely nice and helpful. They made us an excellent dinner (driving back in to town for dinner is a bit of a drive, and only a couple cafes in Owaka). I wish we could have stayed more than one night, and taken advantage of the bush walks and relaxation.

静寂と落ち着き

街から遠く離れた広い敷地の中のコテッジ。敷地内にはハイキングコースのような散歩道があり、全部歩くと2時間以上かかる。羊の群れや綺麗な山並みをみながら林の中を歩くのは何とも気持ちが良い。コテッジ内は広々としていて特にWi-Fiがサクサクと快適につながるのは爽快。チェックアウトも11時なので朝もゆっくりできる。
