This is a great place to stay if you want to get away from the tourist spots and busy towns. Getting back to nature while still retaining the creature comforts. We were traveling from Nelson to Hotikika and found springs Junction to be an ideal place to stop off for a day or two. The lovely town of Reefton is not too far away. And the night sky is amazing for star gazing.
The wood house does make some noises at night, as these types of houses can, (possibly due to the wood panels being cold at night) so if you’re a light sleeper maybe bring earplugs. We really liked the feel of this house and the owners were very nice, came over with extra wood for the fire and were very friendly. Fruit trees are on site too with lovely apples. The WiFi was great and Netflix was so handy.
