This accommodation was fab. The host Violeta was extremely nice, helpful, informative, very generous and welcoming. She had so many nice touches and thoughtful additions in the property. The house is very well located near the old Whitestone town, pier and right at the top of the road for the penguins.

Contactless check-in was fuss-free. The room was absolutely stunning and an interior designer's dream. We loved the Nespresso machine and Netflix. The best accommodation we stayed in over the 2 weeks we spent in the south island!

+ Everything I needed for a stay on their property outside of central oamaru (10min drive) + Very quiet and comfortable lots of amenities in the cabin (cooking facilities, breakfast jams/condiments/bread/juice + Always nice to see a place offer fresh milk, and a generous 1L bottle (really sets the tone of how likely its put more thought and attention to detail, which this place does!) + Multiple heaters, electric blanket + Fun bathroom (double door, so rare!!! As not to disturb the guests in bed with the light directly shining so you can enter on both (corners). I think from reading reviews this also helps if you are renting the other cabin with no toilet just a stones throw away. The bathroom had all the necessities including shampoo, conditioner, aftershave, and a super warm TIMED fan heater!!! + Hairdryer, cable tv (limited channels), iron, broad games and books. Had everything I needed + Really responsive host, easy to communicate with on the platform , happy to make recommendations and gave thoughtful instructions and information beforehand + Animals on the property (including some cows and alpacas) be careful of electric fence not all were that obvious if you're not familiar with them

Top notch conditions and well working air conditioning in both cool and heat functions. We changed our plan so we can stay here and definitely right decision for it. All our families enjoyed and loved the house with the garden. Full of thoughtful decos in the house and homey feel. And finally we got working Wi-Fi and Netflix for some family time at night 😊
