It was an excellent house, we did not expect to have such a big house with such a big kitchen. In addition there were 5 toilets, 3 shower rooms which was very convenient for big groups. We were amazed by the kitchen and we have enjoyed very much cooking at the place. Continental breakfast and fruits was provided, when we check-in the heaters was already on to give us a warm and cozy feeling. The view was excellent, by the river. Quiet at night as the house is located by the highway between Hokitika and Greymouth so you must have a car otherwise it would be very inconvenient. Easy to go to Hokitika and Greymouth, is within 20 minutes drive or less. The living and dinning room was a big dark, in my opinion. This will be a bit of problem for elderly and people with bad eyesight, can maybe consider to brighten up a bit by placing some more lights. We have enjoyed very much our stay, thank you Rachel and her husband. If ever go back to South Island I would like to stay in the same place.
