Helen is a wonderful, welcoming host. The house is in a good location near Arthur's Pass and makes a great stop if you're driving cross country. We opted to include the dinner and breakfast and both were delicious. The common area and bathroom is shared with another room/visitors and we were lucky to have very enjoyable company so it felt like reliving the old hostel days as an adult 😀

Perfect location!! Close to the bus stop and in front of the beach. Very clean and comfortable room to stay. 100% recommended!! We enjoyed our stay with the kind hosts and the lovely dog. In fact, I am missing their cute dog, Bruce.

Very beautiful and stylish layout, especially the dining area. The host family must be real artists! Really like their taste of the beddings. And the room is so warm that we were sweating at night!

This place is within a comfortable walking distance from both the airport and several budget friendly car hire places, with a self check in process that meant I could check in at 2AM without causing any bother. The room is immaculately clean and comfortable, and the bed in the room is perhaps (not kidding) one of the comfiest I’ve ever slept in. There’s even a kitchen with free tea, coffee and bread. This place truly is a homestay, and a brilliant one at that. Steven is a friendly guy.

No breakfast but lovely hosts with very comfortable bed, a small lounge and bathroom. Warm, and inviting. Hosts have a small dog who has his own delightful happy personality. Easy to praise the hosts and the accommodation. The accommodation is situated in a relatively new subdivision of quality homes.
