We highly recommend you stay at Alderside - West Wing in Otautau, and we can't wait to tell you why!
Our hosts, Shona and Don, made us feel completely at home from the very first moment to the last. We were welcomed with a loaf of homemade bread straight out of the oven, and farewelled with a still-warm homemade raspberry and white chocolate bun! And everything else between those two events was just as perfect.
Alderside - West Wing is a peaceful oasis set amongst farmlands and very near to the quaint township of Otautau. The location is great for exploring the spectacular southern beaches, Aparima river, and Invercargill. Our hosts have lived in the greater region all their lives and were happy to share their local knowledge and recommend places to visit.
The home is completely private with everything you need for relaxation and/or entertainment. The ambiance is divine and we felt rejuvenated the moment we arrived.
The rooms are spacious with enormous bedrooms and a most comfortable lounge room where you can put your feet up, read from the wide range of available books and magazines, watch TV, or just gaze through the huge bay windows and admire the incredibly beautiful garden and abundant birdlife. The kitchen is ultra modern with everything you could possibly need to make your favourite meals. The bathroom is huge with sparkling clean fittings and finishes, and a lovely vase of fresh flowers from the garden.
We honestly did not want to leave this wonderful home, and we are sure every guest must feel the same way.
Thank you Shona and Don, our stay with you was the best start we could have had to the new year, and the absolute highlight of our travels.
