Sheets are super duper clean. House is so tidy and has got everything you need. Kian is very friendly. Pre-warmed our house so we were so comfortable arrriving late at night in the middle of winter and pouring rain.
Will definitely come back. Felt so safe. Bed super comfortable and well presented.

Really helpful staff. Wifi in my room was really slow at first but when I told them. They brought some wifi repeater to boost the connection to my room. The guy from the reception was really nice.

We stayed in the studio for 3 adults with spa bath. It was very comfortable and had everything we required. We only had an overnight stay and unfortunately it was raining in the evening when we arrived so we quickly explored the area in the morning before heading up to Mt Cook. Would definitely stay there again.
