Peaceful Stay

We cannot fault this peaceful location nor the delightful cabin we stayed in. David the owner was super friendly and helpful in directing us to various places to visit. There was no Wi-Fi but cell coverage was adequate, and we had everything we needed as far as facilities go. Clean, warm, comfy bed, loads of hot water, very private... we'd go again!

Wonderful retreat in the alpine north of the South Island of NZ

The Stargazer Cabin was a VERY comfortable place to spend a week!--cozy bedroom, well appointed kitchen, immaculate bathroom. The hosts were wonderful and offered to be (and were) helpful in all sorts of ways. They couldn't have been more welcoming. The only thing that visitors should keep in mind is that there is no WiFi and no laundry facilities, This might or might not matter depending on how long one plans to visit.

Magnificent

Lovely friendly host. Simple beautiful cabin with a strong shower and comfy bed. Kitchen full stocked for use. David was charming, unobtrusive but welcoming and generous. St Arnaud is very small but the environs are beyond amazing. Glorious Lake Rotoiti and one of the best tramps I’ve ever taken in NZ. All of the wonderful. Thx David!

St Arnaud delight

The name of this property lived up to it's name. The night sky was so clear and the stars so bright and sparkling. The hostess and host were very kind and friendly and helpful, generous in their effort to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. Everything was clean and fresh. With the environment of the Nelson Lakes being one where you want to enjoy the beautiful lake and walking tracks, this accommodation was really great to live in and be close to the many attractions. Thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Tammy and David. The cabin is comfortable, all the walls are wooden-lined for a very cosy feel. Fully equipped kitchen and dining seperate from living area. Double bed with electric blanket (you probably won't need it). Even mozzie repellent is provided.
