Cheap and cheerful! On first glance we thought the place needs a better clean and a few repairs and our teenager was horrified there was no wifi (I hadn't taken sufficient notice of that from the listing). But we ended up being so happy, warm and comfortable that after 3 nights we started to think it was the best place we've ever stayed. A very modest, well-used house but it had everything you needed in a quiet area: big bedrooms, comfy lounge with fire, well equipped kitchen and the most fantastic shower. Good for families. We used it as a base to drive to Ohau, Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook. Otematata itself is rather dead.
Thanks Lesley, we had a marvelous few days in your place.
