Best small group accommodation ever.
We were exceptionally fortunate to have found this amazing accommodation. The location is fantastic and allowed for easy transport times to Timaru and our racing locations for the day. The house itself has a wonderful, elevated view over the valley and was very well appointed. Clean and well managed. The owner was fantastic and went above and beyond to make our stay as good as possible. We will defiantly be recommending this location to friends and family.
