Spacious inside with a great backyard. Walkable to all we wanted in town and an easy drive to Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. Kudos to the host who was helpful and responsive.

Great accomodation for the price, had everything we needed and in a convenient location as well. The host was helpful and accommodating. Whilst it is not a modern building, no complaints as it gets the job done and is good value for how much it cost. Thank you!

住屋外觀，前、後花園很漂亮，停車位充足，足夠停泊三輛車，屋內設施則略為殘舊，櫃內有很多雜物存放，浴室沒有浴簾，每次洗澡後地面很濕，洗衣機有點髒，其他床褥、廚房用具還可以，不過屋主Summer很好，每次查詢都很快回覆，且主動介紹附近景點和餐廳。

Unterkunft ist in die Jahre gekommen, aber sauber. Viele getrennte Schlafmöglichkeiten.Ein Tipp an die Gastgeber...bitte andere Handtücher, die haben gar nicht getrocknet und 1-2 mehr Abtrockentücher...
