We really enjoyed this accommodation and it exceeded our expectations. My wife and I were in the area to ride Old Ghost Road, Te Ara Paparoa, and the Pike 29 Memorial Track. This accommodation was central and convenient for our agenda. We really appreciated Chris and his responsiveness. When we needed help or something, he was super responsive, but we were also left to our peace. It was truly a charming cottage. The place appeared clean and was away from the chaos. It seems like it would be a great place for folks looking to fish on holiday. I'd just throw out two things for folks considering staying: 1. Anyone over 1.83 meters is going to have a tough time with the bathroom area and the passing into that room of the house. The toilet area for a tall person feels exactly like it does when you're in the bathroom on an airplane with your head pressed up against the ceiling trying to maneuver your body for a proper aim. 2. There is no wifi. It doesn't state there is, so it is what it is, but I feel like wifi should at this point be a standard provided item. Either way, it's not, so plan for that. We had Google Fi, which ran off the Spark Cellular tower and provided us with one strong bar that allowed us to do anything we needed to, including streaming. All in all, I'd stay here again. Really charming, peaceful stay. Thanks Chris!

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..

This was a lovely place to stay for 5 nights while we explored walking tracks around the Reefton area. It was a very short drive into Reefton for stocking up and charging our car. Chris is a great host.

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.
