"What a beautiful place. Couldn't imagine a better first impression of the Nelson-Tasman region."

"Food in restaurant was excellent. "

"Perfect property on the shore of Lake Rotoiti. Could not be more pleased. Tons of amenities."

"St Arnaud is a lovely location and the property is also conveniently located. The property is comfortable enough but is neither fish nor fowl. It is better than a basic kiwi bach but not really up to the standard of a holiday home. It seems a bit expensive for what it is - I found the dirty windows, cobwebs and threadbare carpet a bit too rustic. The house needs some maintenance. "

"4x4 Vehicle access only unless you want to carry your bags 300m, including over a 50m 2 x plank & wire swing bridge. This is not in listing. Host has a 2 person seater 4x4 & said he only offers rides for 3+ night bookings & complained doing this for visitors damages his vehicle! When he reluctantly offered a lift out as I had a broken ankle & we commented that we felt he was prioritising his vehicle over us, there was no apology for the inconvenience, just a tirade of abuse as he started swearing & using very personal & rude profanities. Note check in time was advertised as 11 am but he was adamant we should be "off his property by 10 am". A beautiful property spoiled by terrible host."

"Felt tucked away, very dark and quiet and night. Had a great sleep. "

"Cool location, very nice hosts, unique setting, extremely clean, well-stocked kitchen"

"Mel and Ben were amazing hosts, and their beautiful property was well equipped for our family's needs whilst on holiday. The location of their home was amazing, with only a twenty-minute drive to Kaiteriteri and an 8 minute drive to Mapua. The pool was inviting and we were very fortunate to have fantastic weather throughout our stay. Thank you Men & Ben for our wonderful stay."

"Great host, very friendly, good communication. The location is peaceful and private, a short drive into St. Arnaud and the trailheads. "
