Lovely cottage in lovely area.

Was shocked we had to bring own sheets, towels, tea towels for the price of stay, never had to at other bookabach.. Wanted us to clean at end of stay, Paying all that money so we don't have to clean.. Also it wasn't clean when we arrived.. Cleaning after the price to stay there plus a cleaning fee on top.. I don't think so.. Spring sticking up of mattress in middle bedroom.. No spear blankets and the ones there were so thin.. Went there for the river.. There is NO way down to the river and no way back up cliff, let a lone get the canoe down to it.. I still enjoyed just being there listening to the birds and the river..

Fabulous historic cottage. On a dead end road, right next to amazing walking tracks. Museum up the road is a must. Swimming hole at bottom of the garden in the river, bliss. Very homely and comfortable. Beautiful pottery around home from creative owner. A little tip, bring the insect repellent! Loved it here, would come back.

Perfect

The communication with the owner was fast and let us check in abit earlier as our time management sucked haha but cottage was such a perfect little place. It had a portacot we could use for our babie had all utensils and only need to provide our food and linen. The river in the back was an awesome part of the stay. Location is nice and close to the museum and not far from town to stock up on tthe food. Such a nice stay would highly recommend and would definitely rebook. Wish could have stayed longer

Fantastic place- highly recommend!

House was very clean, radio playing on arrival was a lovely touch. The property has two nice decks depending on where the sun is. House is a decent size with one bedroom even having a portacot in it. River is at the end of the property and requires a little scramble down the bank (steps are wearing away) but was a great place to swim on a hot day. Lots of sandflies as usual on the Coast but surprisingly much less aggressive than other places. Great walks across the road and good food in town. Overall a great host and a great stay!

Short stay in Reefton

The cottage is comfortable and equiped well for a self catering break in Reefton. The owner responded quickly when the heat pump wouldn’t work. However, with no wifi available at this cottage we were relying on our mobile phones, unfortunately it doesn’t get any signal. So if you want to get away from modern technology this is the place for you.

Is what it is

A batch in the bush, in the mountains. Price is great, area is fantastic, the batch was great. River in the backyard. Visit the museum if you can, well worth it. You get a personal tour and explanation of the history and a view of a working quartz crushing machine. Close to Reefton and shops. Internet is a challenge, I used my phone to hot spot the family and put it up as high as i can in the lounge to make it work. Finding the batch can be tricky first time, hard left, road runs parallel with highway and is next to it.

Right on the river

This truly lived up to it's name as a charming cottage backing onto the river. Black's Point is a picturesque little village nestled in a valley just outside of Reefton and we had a nice time wandering around and visiting the Museum across the road. We visited in autumn and the heat pump quickly warmed the living areas of the house up. The bathroom remained chilly - but this is an old cottage, so that is expected. We would have loved some soft, cozy blankets to use while watching TV in the evenings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
