My family of 5 checked in to Helen place before starting our road tour of South Island. It is a good stay at Helen place, and instructions are clear on what's in the property. It is a recommended place to stay if you dun mind an older property. It is very clean and organised. Only one shortfall is the entrance path which has no lighting at all and it is tough to move around especially during dark time. We are unlucky to face a rainy day on check in time after day light. It is unclear on where to check for lot no and quite dangerous when we try to move thru the dark winding slope of entrance path with our luggage. Other than that, all are ok and we have a good stay. Thanks for hosting us.
