Fun, funky, really cute villa in the small town of Kumara. Kate has done a nice job adding a cool, hippy vibe to the place. She is super personable and accessible and was helpful with suggestions on fun things to do locally. House was clean, well stocked with amenities, and well looked after. The villa is part of a bigger compound that includes some additional dorm rooms for rent and an air stream RV - so the outdoor space is shared with other tenants. Great for mingling with others although provides bit less privacy than if you were in stand alone home - space is more of a retreat feel as the name suggests. We loved the group Yoga class! Great entry point to hiking in Arthur's Pass and the coast. We had a great stay!
