Michelle and her husband were super welcoming and helpful with suggestions and tips for our time in the area. The guest house was immaculate, excellent amenities and delicious continental breakfast items, notably the fresh eggs from their hens. We had a relaxing stay and would definitely stay again if we ventured back to New Zealand.

Fantastic Kiwi Bach Stay!

I will mirror whats already been said by others - this is one of the best hosted stays we have had in all of our travels. Everything (from breakfast to towels) is so well done. Professional, very clean, uncluttered, spacious, and comfortable. We stayed just one night on our way through to Queenstown and so glad we did. The owners are lovely to talk to and our stay was just wonderful. If you have the chance to stay here, do it quick. Highly recommend!

Very enjoyable stay!

The property was very welcoming, very clean, stylishly laid out and comfortable. It had everything we needed and the breakfast goods were great. Communication beforehand and while there was helpful and check in, smooth. View of mountains was splendid and surrounding gardens and seating areas very pleasant too. Just on the edge of town, easily accessible shop, bars etc and hot tubs just up the road.In a good spot to access other places of interest.

Omarama stay

My partner and I stayed at Michelle & Neville's lovely place for 2 nights as part of our across-NZ journey. The place was perfectly clean and incredibly relaxing. It was spacious and had every amenity we needed - even laundry and fresh eggs and tasty snacks for breakfast. We had some good chats with our hosts as well, and they were very kind and helpful with suggestions on what to check out during the next leg of our journey. We would highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway.
