Cozy and tranquil, in Waipiata

A convenient stopping point on the rail trail cycle trip. A short walk to the Waipiata Tavern, which is famous for it's food. The property had lovely grounds for relaxing, and the cabin / room was cozy and warm, with very comfortable beds. My son and i enjoyed our stroll around the township, before dinner. The bathroom, is one of the 3 cabin units, and while not joined to the room, is only 10m away, but very modern, clean, with great water pressure, and good hot water (ideal after a long bike ride). The hosts, were very warm and welcoming on arrival, and were part of the breakfast banter, the following morning, before departure. The two accommodation cabins for the property were a bunk room, with 4 single beds (which my son and i stayed in), and a double room. booking both, would be ideal for a family travelling through. Which is likely what we will do next time. LOVED IT!!

I was cycling the Otago Rail Trail and Behind the Bike Sheds is just next to the trail. The hostess was very friendly and helpful and I loved how characterful the accommodation was.

Best place to stay on cycling trip.

Superb, comfortable hut with amazing facilities. I stayed at Behind The Bike Sheds with my son on a cycling trip. It is a lovely place with amazing facilities (including indoor and outdoor games) and bathroom. Everything is so beautifully designed and tasteful. Debbie is a great, friendly host and provides a lovely breakfast with superb coffee. Highly recommend and will definitely return next time I am in the area.

Really enjoyable place and visit.

The host was really nice, which made the breakfasts enjoyable. The access to the Rail Trail couldn't be better and the local hotel/restaurant had good food.
