Fantastic property with a young family. Fully fenced in property for the kids. Great communication with Anna. Looks small on the outside but bigger on the inside. Well set up for a family holiday

Fun place with lots of space
Fun quirky place to stay, heaps of room and bed options. We used the Chromecast to watch a movie and looked through the great book collection, and had a nice walk over the bridge to the Beaumont hotel for dinner. Remember to bring food for the next day as there are no shops in the area.

Basic with plenty of space. Good for sewing retreat.
Swimming pool needs to be taken off website as not useable. Some sheets not clean - lucky we bought our own. Great to have extra trestle tables provided for sewing. Good supply of firewood. Great meals available at Baumont Hotel. Would stay again.

Comfortable unique spacious warm
Can recommend this accommodation for a quirky comfortable holiday. Whilst we were there in the summer the weather was miserable as it was everywhere and the fire made our stay cosy and warm. Lovely facilities anything and everything you could need. Lots of lovely places to visit nearby but take a few friends and just stay put. Looks like a great waterhole in the nearby river. Visits to Lawrence and up to miller’s flat and Roxburgh were excellent excursions . Great place to take children I would imagine.

Unique bach in a great location
One of the most unique and interesting bachs we've stayed in, really enjoyed it. The huge grounds are fantastic for kids and dogs. The Clutha Gold and Millenium trails are right on the doorstep. Definitely worth checking out!

Perfect Accomodation ⭐️
We had a wonderful whānau holiday at Beaumont School. It was lovely to stay in a place with so much history. The School has been sympathetically converted so it still has the Old School feel and everything you need for comfort too. We Loved our stay - thank you
