“We didnt stay there & found a lovely motel in St Arnauds which was far better value for money.”
+A weka walking around.
−It was very basic & shabby compared to motels we usually stay in & felt we had been misled by the description of it being an apartment. It had steps up so not that suitable for people our age (70’s) lugging suitcases upstairs. There was a mouse in the trap in the wool shed right by the “apartment”door which the owner said “was a good thing but put me right off! It felt cold & the heater made a terrible rattling noise & smelt of burning dust. The furniture looked old.

“Quiet and remote by the river. Quirky but comfortable. It was a woodshed after all”

“Perfect rural break!”
+It was just as described.. rustic and perfect in every way. Beautifully done with a comfortable bed and everything you needed to cook a simple meal. Microwave and mini oven with 2 elements. Lovely picture window looking out at the view. Great location near the Owen River.
−Only comment i would make is about the local tavern...Owen River Tavern. We had thought we might eat there but decided it didn't look too good, Wouldn't recommend.....So we got food in Murchison and made a nice meal at 'home'.

+The Woolshed is an absolute gem of a place and its owners are a delight. If 5-star is your thing don't come here. It's one step up from an operational shearing shed with a self-contained 'apartment' grafted into the shed. It's very NZ and your grandma would probably feel right at home in it.

“You have been warned”
+Described as “rustic”! This was not a pleasant experience and clearly our definition of rustic differed with the owners
−The wooden steps leading to the main entrance were dangerous for the aged - bit slippy The main woolshed area (cooking area/microwave) was not conducive to holiday mode it would have been a good idea to signal the first bed presented to us was not in fact the bed meant for guests There were heaps of bugs etc and a decent blast of fly spray throughout the cooking area,was resulting in beetles scuttling across the dirty carpet The main room was barely acceptable - pokey area for handbasin but too narrow to stand square on! Look at the disgusting plug!
