“Amazing views in comfy getaway”
Amazing views. Super comfortable couch. TV was easy to pull out to face the bedroom so we were able to watch TV in bed. All facilities were great and clean. Thankful for the oil provided with the pots & pans. As well as the board games. Town was only a 4 min drive, but felt like we were way out in the middle of nowhere. Had a lovely stay for my birthday.

“Love it!!”
Everything about it! The cabin is very clean and modern and is well equipped, whatever you need for a comfortable stay is right there. The kitchenette is well stocked with a variety of cookware and crockery. Water pressure in the shower is fantastic. Location is a very short drive from town. The environment is so quiet and peaceful and you have 2 cute sheep in your own backyard. I love everything about this. It's literally the best stay we had over our 16 days/7 different accommodation trip in South Island. Thank you!

Such an amazing setting! Brad communicated with us so well. We loved sitting gazing at the mountains. The cabin was clean, comfy and had everything we needed. Lying in bed with the mountains and glacier to look at, and stars at night was a pinnacle!

“Great location for these small but very pleasant cabins.”
I stayed there for two separate two night stays. Small but clean and pleasant cabins. They are carefully orientated that they face wonderful views towards the glacier. Five minutes drive to the town and situated far enough away from the main road that sleep quality was excellent. Would stay there again.

Lovely clean and well maintained property. Comfortable with amazing view. Yes it’s a tiny house but for a few nights stay it was just right.
