We loved the well equipped kitchen, where we cooked a nice dinner and enjoyed the Nespresso machine for our morning coffee. We had been traveling for a few days prior to our stay and were grateful for the use of the washer to do laundry. We really appreciated the large newly renovated bathroom and the nice shower. We all got a great night's sleep on the comfortable beds. The house is close to town and it was easy to get to walking trails in the area, like Devil's Punch Bowl. We would definitely recommend this property if you are traveling through Arthur's Pass.
