Great rural spot close to town

Great spot to enjoy a rural setting but still be close to town. Everything you need in the container and the fenced area outside for the dog was great. The hosts were very friendly and the place was nice and private.

Lovely, quiet location - great hosts!

We loved the location, the hosts were very friendly and accommodating, and the accommodation was ideal for our two-night stay. We appreciated the little things like having tea/coffee/fruit bursts provided. We also loved the dogs, cats and birds that the owners have!

Rural Getaway

Very kind and accommodating hosts. Had all the kitchen and bathroom amenities we needed. Loved the rural setting with our bovine neighbors and lovely birdsong throughout the day. Had a wonderful stay and the town of Tokoroa has everything we needed for groceries, gas, etc.

Lovely and quiet stay

Jan and Bill's place was perfect for us as a long-term tenant. The studio was cozy and kept us warm during the winter, with peaceful views of the surrounding hills and farms to keep us occupied. The studio has everything you might need for cooking, and the bed was very comfortable as well. We highly recommend this location for both short-term and long-term stays. Jan and Bill's hospitality made us feel right at home from day one.

Comfortable and quiet

We really enjoyed our stay here, the hosts were super friendly and made a special effort to sort out the TV which wasn't working. A very quiet environment, 5 kms off the main road, comfortable and clean. Seperate cabin away from main house, so privacy ensured.
