We really enjoyed the privacy this studio offered and the beauty of the surroundings in Makarora. Our 9 year old daughter also really enjoyed meeting the cows and lamb on the property. The studio is quite charming and clean. The master bed is comfortable, but the pull out bed could use some updating. Unfortunately the internet wasn't working due to a recent storm, but this gave us more time to enjoy the outdoors! The local pub has a fun atmosphere with lots of travelers passing through and decent food and coffee for the road.
