Accommodation options around the district are fairly limited. This is a great value option: self-contained simple cottage in a pretty garden with welcoming hosts. I was traveling with my teenage daughter and a German exchange student mid-winter en route to West Coast. We spent two nights there - cold time of year and Jenny had heat pump on well before... More

My fiance and I escaped to Murchison following the second earthquake in Christchurch. The owners, Jenny and Melissa, kindly offered us a discount and a free spa upon hearing we're coming from Christchurch.

Jenny supervised our youngest for a pony ride, and he absolutely loved Harmony, and the beautiful foal. We... More

The cottages are great - perfect for couples or for families/ larger groups. The cottage has loads of space - a double room, twin room, bathroom, living room/ dining room and kitchen.... More
