Rata Escape is a wonderful place that captures the true feeling of Canterbury. There is a great little cafe only 5 minutes walk away, and the peace and quiet is a welcoming escape from a city or the like. Mt Hutt is only a short drive away and Methven the local town is handy for groceries and conveniences. The room is warm, cozy and super clean. Elspeth is always easy to get hold of and very approachable and helpful. I would thoroughly recommend staying here!
