We have stayed in a lot of
fantastic airbnb's in new zealand, both north and south island, but Coombes cottage is definitely one of the best. We encourage everyone to visit this beautiful region (similar to Sierra Nevada in Spain). We enjoyed the tranquility (beautiful views from our veranda), the hospitality (hot tub, use of washing machine, use of mountain bikes, delicious scones baked by lorna), and the beautiful surroundings by cycling part of the Central Otago rail trail. The small cottage we stayed at is about 50 m from Lorna and David’s house, which is located 'in the middle of nowhere', 7 km from a charming mining town (st bathans). There is a kitchen, a cozy living room with fireplace, a lovely double bed and a nice bathroom with shower and old-fashioned freestanding bath tub. (The house is really ‘gezellig’, which will be understood by Dutch people). If you have the opportunity, do not skip this place. A gem!!
