This villa is definitely 5 star. It is exceptionally clean and well equipped, spacious, and has superb views. It was great for us ,as we spend a lot of time hiking. The Rakaia gorge hike and the Washpen Falls hike (super) are both so close , but if you are willing to drive further afield, there is Castle Hill with the limestone structures and Arthur’s Pass Walkway as well as the Devil’s Punchbowl Falls, which are stunning. Another day trip is Mount Sunday track which is also worth the trip. It was certainly an advantage that we had fabulous sunny, not too hot weather for all of our treks.
And what a wonderful accommodation to come home to with it’s mountain views. And if you happen to see some folks hitchhiking they may be doing the Te Aroroa track, and would sure appreciate a lift. We had fun talking to a couple of them.
Thanks Brittany.
