An oasis of peace and tranquility

Had a great time at this lovely old school kiwi bach. Would definitely stay again but not with six adults because access to the two bedrooms with double beds is through where the two single beds are. Ideal for two couples or people with kids. Loved the setting in the native bush and unique character of this sweet bach Found the short cut to the lake :-) Fast and responsive communication with the owner and really appreciate all the warm blankets and heat pump for the colder time of year.

St Arnaud cottage a gem

The St Arnaud cottage provided a welcoming base for exploring the Lake Rotoiti area. The house was clean and well equipped, we slept well in the peaceful surroundings. The location a short distance from lakeside trails was great. Definitely recommend.

Lovely cottage

Lovely little cottage, nice location, short stroll down to the lake, and village. Heat pump did a good job in the middle of winter to heat the house, would just recommend curtains for all windows as unfortunately it lets the cold in a lot. Really quaint though, with everything you need. Will be back again in summer.

Tranquil and cute

Very quaint and cosy. The property sleeps 6; a double bed in each of the upstairs bedrooms and two single beds on the landing in between the rooms. This landing is open to steep stairs so I wouldn't put small children or sleepwalkers in those beds. Also, whomever sleeps there will be needing a torch and is likely to be disturbed by anyone coming and going from the bedrooms. With that in mind, the house is really lovely and comfortable. Beech trees full of birdsong all around and beautiful walks all around.

First visit to St. Arnaud

The Belmont cottage was a pleasant surprise. It has the location, a short stroll to the lake, and a cosy feel. You get the morning sun in the kitchen. You can actually sip your coffee while watching the sun rise over the St. Arnaud range. We enjoyed family time without WiFi too.

Great location, cute house

Such a sweet house in a great spot near town. Easy walk to the lodge and lake. Simple, but homely and comfortable, and the heat pump did a great job of warming downstairs. Would definitely stay again.

Boat show stay

Very nice bach. Just a note about the 2nd bed, mattress uncomfortable. One of the occupants with a bad back ended up sleeping in the single bed. Maybe time to upgrade?
