West Coast : locations de vacances dans des gîtes écologiques

Helen’s home is truly a hidden gem. We needed somewhere to stay close to Arthur’s Pass, and we are so lucky to have found this place. Our bedroom (and basically any other living area in her home) had an absolutely gorgeous view of the valley and the mountains. While we were there, another couple also was staying at Helen’s home in another bedroom. We all had dinner together that night and shared lots of fun stories. Helen was a great cook! She also made us a delicious breakfast the following morning and was kind enough to work around our early-morning schedule. Helen was not only amazing host, but also a very kind and gracious person. We felt so welcomed into her home almost immediately. I really loved talking to her about her outdoor adventures. She was extremely helpful and gave us suggestions on things to check out at Arthur’s Pass. Thank you so much, Helen, for your amazing hospitality! I wholeheartedly recommend Helen’s place!

We loved our stay at The Barn Killin! Hugh and Dwayne were wonderful, welcoming hosts. Highly recommend opting for dinner at the house, as well - it was delicious! Lake Ohau is beautiful and peaceful, and it was a perfect place to stop for a night. Hopefully we will be able to make it back again someday!

A really nice place to hang around. Geoff was extremely accommodating and responsive in communication and our request.

We had a great time there. Ben makes Gin and we had a great tasting as part of the stay. Great experience.

Very clean, easy and pretty! All we needed! The place was well thought through

Good place to stay for activities in Franz Josef and nearby. Cathy was very helpful when we asked to extend our stay for an extra night. Accommodation was comfortable and clean.

Just stayed here for a night but it was a good, easy stay. Cathy was very proactive about providing information up front about the area. Full kitchen was great for a place this price as well. Space was clean. No complaints other than the location itself and not having much to do in the area.

It was a handy place to stay to visit the white heron sanctuary. Cathy advised us of the lack of food outlets in the village for evening dining so we were able to bring our own food and make use of the kitchen facilities in our unit.

This motel was a great place to sleep after a long day of hiking near the glaciers. The space was clean and the beds comfortable. Cathy has done a nice job making updates with cozy new electric fireplaces and newer linens. It was very quiet, which made for a great night sleep away from Franz Josef. We had eaten in town before we arrived, but we saw another guest eat in using the available grill to cook dinner. Cathy was great at sharing information about the area ahead of time to make sure we were prepared for our stay!

Cathy's accommodation was neat and clean and looked exactly like the photos. Communication was proactive and friendly. No questions were left unanswered. We definitely recommend it!

Very easy check-in with key inside room. Kathy is very nice and promptly answered my questions beforehand. My room was in the back away from road noise and had views of countryside (weather did not permit glacier views).

We had a great stay at Cathy’s place on our way to Franz Josef. Very spacious with the things you need.

An amazing and picturesque location with cozy amenities. Great accommodation!

Ao Marama retreat was a wonderful serendipitous find. We stayed longer than expected and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and tranquil setting.

If you like remote, this place is for you! We stayed one night to break a long journey and found Forest Lodge a refreshing change to other AirBnBs. Thanks for your high standards, warm hospitality and good conversations, Margie.

We had a wonderful time! The location is gorgeous, the property has been lovingly designed and is very well thought-out, and Elizabeth and her family couldn't have been nicer. We loved the walk down to the beach and walking to Collingwood, and the birdsong in the evenings and mornings was amazing.
