“Excellent value, absolutely delightful.”
+This was an amazing place to stay. Sarah and Shane made us feel welcomed and shared with us info about the town and history of the area. It was a bit of a wet day, so we took time to rest up, play some pool and watch a DVD from their collection. The weather cleared and we went for a walk along part of the Kawatiri Train down to the suspension bridge over the Nile River. The track is well maintained by our hosts & others on the conservation team. The breakfast was so good and catered for our dietary requirements. It was delicious and there was plenty of it with fresh fruit, cereals, preserves and fresh eggs for hubby. We would definitely stay here again.
−We loved everything about the accommodation. The tavern across the way was closed so we made sure we had supplies and cooked our meals in the well-equipped kitchenette in our room.

+Sarah and Shane are amazing, friendly and helpful hosts. The apartment is beautiful and their hospitality goes beyond - taking us down to the old gold mine tunnels that their property sits on and showing us their own private glow worms. Wonderful breakfast. Wish we could have stayed there longer. This is not a place for one night only.

+The room was comfortable and breakfast was good
−The shower didn’t work properly, hardly any water pressure. Apparently they had it fixed after we left.

+Super clean and comfortable. The breakfast was very nice and plentiful, with a lot of options. The property was beautiful with lovely views from the patio. The hosts are incredibly nice and friendly, they offered us a tour of the glow worms in the tunnels on their property, as well as lots of local advice on various attractions.
−That we only stayed one night.
