We had a great time at Rachels place, I would recommend it and if I was passing through Arthurs Pass again I would happily stay here. We were initially concerned about having to hire bed linen but this was infact very easy and stress free. You hire linen and towels from the motel round the corner as you turn off the main road. Each sheet, pillow case & towel costs $5 per item for as long as you need it. They are very trusting and don't ask for a deposit or your name. They will know you are staying at Rachels when you ask to hire stuff. You need to factor this cost into your budget. The house is spacious, the kitchen had everything we needed (including nice matching crockery and nice wine glasses) and it was very warm. The log burner in the lounge was really good, easy to light with some newspaper (pickup a free local newspaper from the cafe in the village) and created a lovely atmosphere. The wifi was strong and we were able to watch tv on our laptops (there is no TV in the house).
