Country Retreats on Ranzau 1

The fresh eggs supplied were amazing along with everything else all the little extras.

Everything is there what you need, great place!

It was a sweet little park with easy access to a beautiful walking trail.

Very strict instructions on what could be cooked.

Location and set up!

A cockroach coming into the place!

Great to have the fenced outdoor area for our dog. Well equipped kitchen and very comfortable bed.

Having to go through 2 gates to access the grassed area.

Quiet place with the park across the street.

awesome property, excellent beds and great for the dogs being fully fenced

Excellent semi - rural location. Wonderful space outside around the unit. Quiet and peaceful. Complimentary Free range eggs, biscuits and beverages were much appreciated. Exceptionally clean. Well designed and equipped.

Very generous hosts with the supplies provided. Great stay. Will be back.

I loved having the fresh eggs and other treats in the fridge. What a lovely bonus!

Peaceful and plenty of space

The main bedroom would benefit from a mirror

Great location, clean tidy unit with nice extra touches like farm freah eggs. Nice to have the yard for the dogs to relax in.

The accommodation had what we needed for one night, however the space was too small.

We felt this property to be very small, even just for a one night stay we felt crammed in. Not in a great location, was so busy and noisy with other tourists. Really only suitable for 1 person. There was no where to sit outside either which was disappointing.

Very comfortable easy to use accommodation and wheelchair friendly, clean

We love the cute units they were totally separated from each other private fenced beautiful garden amazing staff we wished we could have stayed longer

The hosts were lovely, the unit clean and the pool was great. Our wee welcome treats were a very nice touch too - this will be our go-to when staying in the Nelson area!

A home away from home.

Nothing!

Spacious, clean and very comfortable. Would comfortably be able to stay for several days. Kitchen was well equipped, free use of onsite laundry and beds super comfy.

Nothing

Great shower and comfortable beds. The pool was great and a bonus to discover a trampoline too for our children.

A few more cups and glasses would have been great.

Perfect location while riding the Great Taste Trail, really well appointed unit, quiet and comfortable.

No complaints at all

There were so many lovely touches when we arrived, including fresh eggs in the fridge. Information to get in was great, the accommodation was spotless and well set up. We had EVERYTHING we could have wanted. Really close to Richmond and a whole range of things to do in the area. We also really liked the fact that it was a calm and quiet area, felt like we were in the middle of the countryside but only minutes to Richmond shopping centre.

The only suggestion I have would be to add a note on the how to use the stove instructions, to make sure the switch located on the opposite wall is turned on :) took us two days to figure out there was a switch, and that is why we couldn’t get the stove to work… hehehe

Cleanliness, dog friendly and lovely space for the dog to be.

There was no entrance to the lawn from the house without opening the gate.

Everything

My wife and I travelled to Brightwater/ Richmond for family reasons. Country retreats was in a perfect location for us and easy to find. The unit was very quiet , comfortable , modern and had everything we needed for our stay - and the farm eggs were a lovely touch.!!

We could have stayed longer.!

So comfy and spacious

Loved the farm life block style. Fresh fruit picked from the trees and fresh eggs collected in the morning was such a treat! Just lovely.

N/A

Fantastic place to stay super friendly and helpfully host, All the little goodies that come with the room are such a great touch loved our stay Highly recommended to everyone traveling with there fur babies.

Maybe the only one very minor thing would of been the shower head n pressure but tbh it was still great really.

Our unit was super clean, modern and the beds were comfortable. We liked the option of being able to take our dog, we decided not to this time though. Was thoughtful to have some drinks, chocolates, milk and biscuits ready for our arrival as well as some fresh eggs in the fridge. Having the use of the free washing machine and drier was fab.

A really great host, a beautiful environment.

Good spacious area. Comfortable beds. Loved the extra treats. Lovely rural setting.

Being next door to a log processing place that had early starts.

Second stay. Great for elderly family members

Everything is as per requirement - plenty cutlery, comfortable beds, free Laundry .

Loved the free range eggs

nothing that we did not like

Very comfortable, super clean, well set up and a very generous host.

The property was fully self contained, comfortable and homely.

New and spacious accommodation. Well-equipped. Very quiet surroundings. Fabulous welcome treats were greatly appreciated. I would recommend this accommodation to friends and family.

Lovely to arrive to some chocolates, biscuits, fresh eggs and some Drinks waiting in the fridge. Provided all necessities for our stay.

Our only feedback would be fridge didn’t keep our fresh chicken long, I suspect it wasn’t cold enough (didn’t get a chance to tell owner while we were there) and there was early morning noise, possibly from local commercial businesses?

Spacious, clean, good cooking facilities. Ideal for what we needed. Aircon was a bonus.

The cabin was clean, comfortable and well stocked with little extras.

Nc area for kids, caretaker was super helpful and friendly, very very clean, free netflix, good cooking area, comfortable bed.

Nothing.

Very clean. Everything looked new.

Nothing

It was quiet and private. Loved the aircon and dish washer.

No sky TV Could do with fly screens on doors or windows. No hooks in the Bathroom.

Loved our stay, very spacious with everything needed. A lovely touch added with drinks and biscuits on arrival.

Nothing i didn't like

Exceptionally good beds. Immaculately clean. Great to have the bedrooms separated by the living area.

Size, disabled facilities

Nothing

The location is great, off the main road and really quiet but still within easy distance to shops and places to eat.

Our dogs were able to get out of the fenced area, as there was a gap beside the entrance ramp and around the back of the cabin. Although the cabin was fenced the large dog from the next cabin was able to access our area to "do its business".

Clean and new. Easy access through lockbox.

A bit small for the price. Cottages quite close together. No view.

Great instructions and easy to check in

Little extra's like goodies in the fridge :) Secure area for our dogs, very dog friendly :) Comfortable beds.

Access from the deck to the garden would have been good, although I understand we were in the disabled unit, but maybe a gate through would be nice. A mirror in the bedroom would be good, save time in bathroom.

Great facilities, location and comfort.

Nothing

We loved everything about the property.

Throughly Enjoyed our stay here. Units are well equipped and well kept. Comfortable and quiet.

Wish I could've stayed longer.

Everything was exceptionally clean and felt perfectly sized for our family of four adults! Beds were very comfy as well!

Great welcome pack of yummy goodies in the fridge. Awesome kitchen facilities too.

very clean and tidy

Beautiful surroundings, quiet and close to all amenities. Loved the units with little extras that made traveling so much easier. Private ,safe and family friendly .We would definitely stay again . Thank you 😊

Everything was fantastic!

Very comfortable pleasant units and surrounding area. There is a trampoline for kids and a park with playground close by. Some units have in house laundry but there is also free shared laundry on site.

It's next to a logging facility which created a tad bit of noise next door just with vehicles moving but it was hardly noticeable and its only during the day on a weekday, the surrounding area is really peaceful and quiet regardless. However if you are sensitive and are going for as quiet as possible try to book a unit away from that adjacent property. It really shouldn't be a deterrent AT ALL just a suggestion if you are looking for as quiet as absolutely possible.

Loved the rural location of the property and access to the walking/cycle tracks to Richmond. Only a few minutes drive to Richmond township for supplies.

I was looking forward to using the pool but this was covered the whole time I was there.
