Rail Trail Retreat Loft

Liked that it was slightly out of town and it was quiet. Easy place to come and go from. Good amenities

Place was pretty cold when I arrived in the evening. Didnt have an AC unit which would have made it a lot easier to heat

Characterful room, obviously loved

Nothing

Love the location and surroundings. Great for us with our dog. Has everything you need & relaxing.

Well equipped and roomy. Quiet and lovely grounds.

Nothing

Exactly worked for our stay

Great clean easy nice for a easy weekend away.

Excellent value. Separate kitchen and bathroom from bedroom. All very comfortable on a secluded and quiet spot. Really enjoyed our stay.

The location was nice and it had a nice feeling to it, the drive in was really good loved the pond and the landrover in the pond

The sink in the bathroom drained back very slowly.

Amazing hosts

Wow don't overlook this one great location private beautiful property Loved this place and will be back

That we didn't book longer Will pre book in the future rather than on the fly

Quality comfortable accommodation in beautiful surroundings close to Alexandra. Very well set up. Continental breakfast much appreciated. Highly recommended.

Nothing. Would certainly stay again.

didnt have breakfast

the check in was 4pm, which is not very good. we arrived early but the place hadnt been cleaned yet. the cleaner rushed in and did a clean while we sat in the garden.

Beautiful place. Quiet and peaceful. We watched a flock of quail from the window. Comfy bed. Goodwifi. Cooking facilities. Lovelytimber interior. Very good host communication. Will definitely return.

As stated and shown in photos not suitable if you cant manage stairs

Loved the environment

The second bed was not made up and we had to pull the settee out and make it up. We r both in 70’s

Quaint, very good quality.

Property had everything a person needed for a comfortable stay.

A great little place

Too much clutter

So cosy and perfect for my stay. Will definitely return hopefully when not working!

The quaint setting, the little touches of welcome and hospitality.

Nothing!

Beautiful, quiet location and lovely clean accommodation. Friendly welcome and superb value for money. I have high expectations and would 100% recommend this delightful gem.

Good communication with the hosts. Nice and quiet country location within a short distance of Alexandra, Clyde and not far from Cromwell. The Loft had all that we needed and was very comfortable. Tall people may be weary of the height in the loft but we had no problems.

Amazing place will use again Nice clean and tidy Loved it Thank you

Cozy, movies, books, a nice place and chocolates and breakfast.

Lovely quiet location just outside town. Comfortable, well-equipped and spacious. So good to be able to do our own cooking

Cozy loft in a lovely quiet location. Main bed was comfortable and had all the facilities we needed. Lovely garden with some outdoor seating.

Sofa beds are never particularly comfortable. A bit cramped for 4. Kitchen appliances difficult to use due to space. Toilet is very low to sit on. Sprinkler was turned on in front of our doorway so we got wet trying to leave the apartment.

Great apartment a few km outside of Alexandra

Lovely to have our dog with us. Thanks for being so welcoming and even the little treat for him!

Clean, comfortable, great value for money

Long driveway... so far away from notice traffic

Loved the quietness of the location, and the outlook

Loved the rustic feel yet modern convenience Lovely setting with a rural feel yet close to Alex

Beautiful peaceful spot. It was great to have a simple continental breakfast supplied. Close to the owners but still felt very private. Comfortable bed and everything you could need supplied. Quick drive into Alexandra for cafes etc.

Not really any negatives.

Warm and clean. Fresh milk, thanks

Location was excellent & loft was very warm & comfy

Had an issue with the shower which would go from very hot you freezing. Also couldn't get tv to work ... ? TV control not working. Not a big issue as not a big tv fan

We had visited over summer and found The Loft very comfortable and handy to our family so when we saw it was available for our winter trip we booked in. Very private and quiet.

First morning the shower heat fluctuated, but only the once over the 3 days we were there.

Amazing location (perfect if you want to do the Alexandra Parkrun) my dog was allowed to stay too. The setting is stunning, the accommodation is so spacious and cosy. Extremely comfortable bed & lovely and warm. There was everything you could need. Pluto loved watching the ducks on the pond and the quail running about.

Great locatipn. Clean room. Good breakfast.

We had a lovely time and would definitely stay again if in the area. Delighted we could have our doggie there with us too🙂

Cozy place in beautiful Alexandra

Remotes need new batteries

Quaint and unbelievably roomy

very pieceful

Pretty surroundings, comfy loft, good hosts, spacious, and quiet!

Temperature of shower didn’t stay consistent, but we were still grateful for a fully equipped shower.

Good location it lovely grounds. We were able to bring our dog who loved being able to explore. The place was clean and comfy, with everything you needed. We had breakfast which was handy reducing the amount of supplies required to bring with us.

We really enjoyed our stay at Rail Trail Retreat in Alexandra. It’s quaint, cute, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location is fantastic—just a stone’s throw from the rail trail, which made for easy access to beautiful walks and bike rides. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful and cozy base in the area!

Great little place with everything you need and more. A home away from home.

The area and the digs

A lovely peaceful rural setting. A good sized unit with very comfortable bed and good facilities. Friendly and responsive hosts.

It was lovely and clean everything provided really appreciate my stay was beautiful home and lovely clean garden/sitting area Sorry I didn’t get to meet Yous I’m a shy person but the loft was absolutely outstanding definitely worth the money and am definitely coming back 😊 cheers heaps

Nothing ☺️

Great location directly at the rail trail. Very well equipped with everything you need and spotlessly clean. Lovely little house with lots of character in an amazing quiet garden. Highly recommended!

All was great

Property was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Located in a quiet, pleasant location.

We stayed for 4 nights and consumables were not resupplied during our stay. We had no contact with our hosts.

Peaceful quiet location.

Found the bed uncomfortable. No hotplate to cook on.

I would not recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Alex or Clyde. Being woken in the middle of every night by the owners dogs barking or whining is not what I had in mind when I booked a semi rural accommodation.

Fantastic spot. Hidden away and felt like a retreat. Dog friendly

A lovely place, very spacious and clean.

This loft is just divine and has everything you need.

Nothing

very quiet place which would suit one person or a couple, it is very peaceful and the hosts are friendly. Los of supplies.good shower

we actually ended up losing a 10 year plus friendship over me picking this place. I failed to read about the mother in law being downstairs and my friend didn't like this, also I failed to pick 2 rooms so read carefully when booking this as its only one room and its up 20 odd stairs so me having emphasemia didn't appeal. It was far too expensive for what it was it felt like a sleep out, I paid 170 for one night, I think it should be more around the 80 mark. I didn't like the towels most of all they were line dried in sun so they were hard and scratchy. maybe invest in some new towels for bathroom and the seal on toilet wasn't a proper cleaners seal it had been broken so maybe not use one at all instead of a recycled one. we didn't actually stay in the day we just dropped stuff off and left cause my friend thought it wasn't very private with the mother in law there so we went back into Alex and to a film and didn't go back until after 10pm, the place was very hard to find in the dark. I think the photos were not accurate, the room looks nothing like the photo and its very dark and dingy

We didn't have the breakfast because my daughters are coeliac, and it's safer not to take the risk. The location was lovely - about 3-4kms's out of the town centre, in a lovely garden setting, shared with the owners. Also, the room was lovely and cool even in the blazing heat of a Central Otago summer afternoon.

Great little space, quiet and peaceful

The bed was terrible and very squeaky, everytime you even moved it made so much noise and when you have 3 other people in the room, it's not ideal. I ended up putting a pillow behind the headboard. A new bed would be a good investment. .

Great spot and everything we needed. Sorry we could only stay one night. Was great to be able to have our dog stay also.

I was nervous I was making to much noise for the person living below

Very comfortable bed and nice facilities. Quiet location in beautiful grounds not far from town.

Top floor of a cute little cottage. Cozy and comfortable. Very handy that all kinds of kitchen appliances available! Laundry and drying service was $15 but worth it for us. Came with continental breakfast and all!

Lovely loft on a private estate. Parking across a small lawn from the Loft entry point. Lovely reading nook, comfortable large leather couch plus lazy boy. Big comfy bed. Kitchenette with dining table, nice bathroom. Selection of TV options plus DVDs. Stayed 3 nights, would stay again. Breakfast ingredients supplied as part of booking. Quiet and private.

We had a great stay, lovely cottage ver friendly
