We had originally planned to stay here as part of a big holiday with our older children, but in the end, I ended up staying here with a good friend and my 6-month-old baby for a 4-night girls getaway to Otago. The house was outstanding and met all of our needs. We made good use of the fireplace and the snowy mountain views, the well-equipped kitchen, and the proximity to some truly fantastic wineries (about 5 min from Mt Difficulty and Te Kano). There is a little café called Black Rabbit slinging beautiful coffees only a 5 min walk from the house. The Bannockburn Sluicings hike is also just a few minutes away by car and a perfect activity on a sunny winter morning. The host communicated so well both prior and during the stay, and I was quite impressed by the massive amount of firewood and firestarting materials left for our use, as well as some wine and chocolate! The house is very suitable for both babies and young children with things like a cot and cot sheets, baby/child toys and Tripp Trapp highchair all available. We had one snowfall morning and one stunning sunrise morning during our mid-July stay and, overall, we couldn’t have been happier. Highly recommend! - Kait
