Lovely rural location with all the amenities you would want in a home.

This is a beautiful location only an hour from mount cook and with great star gazing on clear nights. The house is clean and modern with comfortable beds and furniture. Some games in the garage for the kids. The location is great for a relaxing few days. The lakes nearby are very clear and actually quite warm in summer so lots of swimming possibilities.

Beautiful views, peaceful neighborhood

Amazing views of the Milky Way and of the surrounding mountains. Perfect porch to enjoy the scenery, and sliding doors totally opened up the living room to the outdoors, as well. The washer and drier worked great. The kitchen suited our needs. Our only complaint was a very slight odor in the kids bunk room. We closed the door, so it wasn’t a big deal.

Small but good

The property is quite small. We were two adults and two kids, and if there was anyone more it would have been too small. There is no space for eating, a tiny wobbly table that there was no way you could have sat at and eaten as the four of us. We had a problem with the hot water, a pain but Sam was in constant contact and got it sorted within a good time. Other than that it was good, the kids enjoyed using the garage with the dart board, it was their chill out space.

Overall we enjoyed our stay here. It is a small 2 brm modern house with Microwave, dishwasher, fridge / freezer, washing machine, dryer, heat pump Toaster, kettle. The place has a beautiful view of the ranges and is situated in a nice quite suburb. The bed was comfy enough. What we didn't like, was the dirty dishes that were in the dishwasher, the roasting dish inside the oven was filthy from previous use, the inside of the fridge hadn't been wiped down and there were food items in there from previous tenants. There were finger marks all over the front of the microwave and spill marks down the inside of the kitchen door. The toilet bowl was clean, but the lid and seat didn't look like it had been cleaned. There was no salt or pepper and less than a teaspoon of sugar, so were a little unprepared as a result. We also had to pay in USD, no sure if this was my mistake or not, but we live in NZ, the house is in NZ, why did we have to pay in USD? Incurring off shore penalties for foreign currency.
