    A lovely peaceful little courtyard,The interior design was very clever and full of New Zealand character. It felt like the host is someone who truly enjoys life and has great taste. I hope I’ll have the chance to stay again.

    Such a lovely welcome from Laura into a lovely room. Cosy, comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean in a quiet setting. The heated bathroom floor was fabulous when coming in from the cold and getting up early in the morning. The breakfast was amazing, a great variety and freshly cooked and delivered to our room with a cheery good morning from Derek. A short and easy walk into town was handy for dinner. I just wish we had stayed for more than 2 nights. Oh and the splashback in Bellbird cabin is spectacular!

    Only one minor point that we had was bit of noise from adjoining rooms in the morning. The owners had only had the rooms since 2023 and maybe could improve this in the future with better sound proofing BUT don’t let this spoil the review as it was excellent value for money compared to 4 others we had on our trip around NZ and as listed above service was exceptional.

    The personal touch is amazing as this let is next to the owners home. It’s a set of three rooms the can be hired and is located within a nice housing estate. The walk to town is 5-10 minutes. There is a hot tub that can be used as well, although we didnt have time to use it. Breakfast was as good as any 5* hotel we had on the trip we were on. A range of options were able to be selected from which was an amazing touch and attention to detail. The room was homely and very comfy and the shower was excellent. We definitely would use this again if in the area.

    It was a little awkward walking in front of peoples private windows and seeing them on the bed. I did make the comment that a private walk up for each door would have been better

The whirlpool, the super comfortable bed and the underfloor heating were my absolute highlights, almost better than Milford Sound itself :D.

    Warm cozy room for our mid winter stay. Walking distance from the town centre. The best water pressure I have ever experienced, there is no feeling like coming home from a cold day out and having a shower here! Amazing brekky served as early or late as you like it, straight to your room. Hosts are very hospitable and the room was stocked with tea+coffee+some extra treats.

    The suburban location in what is a lake town. However, once inside your studio it's not really an issue. Also, the short walk in and out of the town centre is just what is needed after dinner.

    Charming owners; toasty warm bathroom; good quality extras (cookies, chocolate).
