Our stay at the Beeches was absolutely wonderful. Everything we needed was there, there was a lovely fireplace which kept the house toasty on the entirety of our stay, completely covered the upstairs bedrooms with warmth as well. Lovely balcony’s on both sides of the house where you can enjoy a coffee and a book. There was a very kind neighbour who helped us with some car issues we were having. If you walk up the hill there is a stunning view of the mountains. Highly recommend and i will be staying here again!

The log cabin we stayed in was very comfortable. The garden and views to the mountains were stunning. We had a very nice relaxing time. We had two things we did not like about the property. The black coating from the frypan with the handle,came off when we used it to cook with and ruined our meal. The fireplace puffed out a lot of smoke into the house whenever we opened the door to add more wood.

No communication from propertymanager after I'd messaged them 3pm the day of checking in. I had a simple question. We got to the property at about 7pm. Couldn't initially find the office to get the key. The wood fire was hopeless. Had it going for 3 hrs and the house was still not warm. Had to sit with jackets The house isn't big. It wasn't clear on the website, when I booked, that linen and towels werent included. I'm not saying it wasn't on there, but it wasn't obvious.

We were looking for a quiet place to unwind and read and relax. this cabin was spot on, super warm and cosy. Log cabin is great and you almost feel like a pioneer, with the mod cons lol

Very disappointed in this place and our experience. A day before we were to arrive we got an email stating linens were not included in our nightly rental. After researching our booked listing this was not mentioned although the owners stuck to their story and said it was an extra cost per person bringing the nightly total to a point we would have chosen to stay somewhere else. We were told it's not a kiwi tradition to put sheets on the bed for customers but I would also like to mention this line is getting old. Long story short after booking month in advance and at the point of no refund to stay anywhere else we got an email saying we needed to bring our own towels and sheets or pay extra. Very disappointed in this kiwi cash grab 😡

This log cabin and settings was a wonderful getaway..so cosy and peaceful . We would definitely recommend.. the only thing I'd say is the main bed matress and one other of the single bed wasn't super comfortable and quite creaky being older iron frames so maybe could do with a mattress upgrade or and an oil ! The stay was worth it though

It's was a really nice stay, and the property manager is so friendly and helpful. A pity we left early to explore other places and could not get back early for our second night.

Cosy and cute log cabin with everything you need for a weekend away. Fresh snow fell while we were there and we thoroughly enjoyed walking in the surrounding area with fresh snow on the ground and on the trees. Wood burner kept the whole place cosy.

We really enjoyed our couple of days stay at The Beeches. The fireplace kept the whole house cosy and warm, and there was a plentiful supply of firewood. A small maintenance issue was fixed quickly when bought to the attention of the agents. Our bed was really comfortable, I had a great sleep. Highly recommended for a relaxing weekend away.
