Great communication, clean and lovely
Fantastic location, great layout of the building, awesome grounds
Beds could be softer, could do with better heating in the winter.
The surrounding envelopment
Clean and location
房子很好,很舒适,有个很大的花园。房东很热情。看小企鹅开车5分钟,很方便。非常好!
Loved the style of the property and beautiful grounds.Great location and a friendly host.
Could do with a clothes dryer.
Every thing you needed comfy beds
Beautiful accomodation tucked away in stunning gardens with your own lake and ducks. Everything we need, we appointed interior and stunning private and relaxing location. We loved staying and would love to return.
Everything plus a beautiful pet friendly home
Beautiful setting and home, and extremely comfortable bed
Nothing
The gardening and greenery in the area was maintained so well with so much effort of the owner. The kitchen facilities are particularly impressive, really worth cooking for some meals. We really enjoyed the time cooking there and spending time with family, playing badminton on the lovely green field. Seeng our kid running around in such free space so happily made our day already. The lake area is stunning. So beautifully maintained.
The mirrors in room and the wall painting which made me feel uncomfortable ; the top floor feels a bit creepy. Other than that, everything was nearly perfect.
Attractive setting and good facilities.
Cleanliness and lack of ventilation.
All the extras - lake, gardens, games facilities
Nothing to dislike
空間非常大
樓上的閣樓沒有冷氣 夏天比較熱
Hübsches Haus in toll gepflegter Umgebung, mit Zugang zu einem schönen Tümpel. Sehr nette Gastgeber. Waschmaschine, Wäscheständer, Wäscheklammern etc., an alles war gedacht.
Es war morgens etwas kalt.
It was a great house in a beautiful location
Our family of four enjoyed the beautiful garden, yard games, and comfortable home for Christmas Eve. The home is just outside of town and is perfect for exploring nearby restaurants, museums, beaches & the little blue penguin sanctuary. Tea by the pond Christmas morning was picture perfect. The hosts are very kind and we would recommend this property to our friends & family.
位置方便,房东很友善,设施齐全 房东的花园整理得很漂亮
Beautiful Gardens, comfortable beds, great quiet location. This would be a great stay for the wedding party or wedding couple. Maybe an engagement, you could do a lovely romantic picnic in the beautiful grounds
Probably not suitable for us personally as we had a 1 year old walker who decided he loved the stairs, so I spent most of my time on the stairs or trying to pull him away from the stairs. The lounge is located upstairs which made it difficult for us. This is no fault of the house just personal preference. It did feel like it wasn’t very clean, like a rush clean had been done. The fridge needs a deep clean and the dishwasher needs a clean run through it as it smells.
Nice property had everything required beautiful gardens.
Lakeside was charming. The property was good, but what made it spectacular was the peace of the countryside gardens. It was astounding to have the spacious lakeside grounds to ourselves. We loved it.
It would be good to have a light above the mirror in the master bedroom for putting on makeup.
Beautiful relaxing setting.
Lovely space. Clean and spacious. Just 5min drive to town.
Very comfortable and clean. Beautiful environment.
Quiet location
The bathroom heater did not work, and the sink was partly blocked
The house was spacious, and clean. Pleasant decor in the bedrooms. The grounds were beautiful the lake, the garden, very well kept. The property was equipped with appropriate utensils, coffee cups and more than we expected.
Like many Airbnb‘s, the couches were not comfortable. The lounge room in the upstairs area became quite warm, perhaps a split system Aircon would be beneficial..
Amazing property set in a beautiful location. My son enjoyed going out on the lake in the boat. Miles was such a nice man and spent sometime with us by the lake chatting. We wish we could have stayed longer, but we are planning another visit later this year. Highly recommend this place.
There was absolutely nothing to fault at this accommodation, only that we didn't get to stay longer.
The accommodation is conveniently located near the city center. The host is extremely friendly and welcoming. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, and the property also provides a washing machine.
No
It was a nice surprise to walk into this lovely little house. Beds were so comfortable, full kitchen to cook meals and a great outdoor area. Unfortunately we only had one night but would have loved to stay longer
It was in such lovely private grounds and had plenty of bedrooms if you were a group of people
Lovely accommodation in a beautiful setting. Extensive gardens we could wonder around. Friendly hosts.
That I couldn't stay longer!
The place was beautiful and so convenient.
Can't think of anything
Clean, spacious and beautiful garden.
None
The property was beautiful for morning and evening strolls around the lake. The room facilities and utilities were all complete.
Great location, very comfortable and Private.
Nothing to dislike it was perfect
Private and relaxing environment. Very homely and cozy decorations. At night, you can look out from the long window upstairs along the stairs and see stars so clearly. It was positioned so perfectly we could see Orion's belt like a framed picture. The host came out to meet us when we arrived and helped us check in so quickly.
干净没有任何异味,床垫也舒服,一早下着小雨做个早餐,安逸!房东大叔还帮忙预约了Taxi,一切都是那么完美!
完美
Board games available! Lake with birds :)
The house and grounds were absolutely top notch. Handy location to town. Property had everything you could need, with bonus of wonderful grounds, the lake area is stunning
There was nothing to not love
Beautiful property Great kitchen setup
The property was built on the open area, fresh air. Easy parking.

Fabulous property. The grounds are amazing and the house is beautiful. The lake was so beautiful to wake up to.
Nothing! I cannot fault it. Such a great spot and the owners were just a phone call away
So beautiful! The lake, the house, the location, it had it all! It would make a stunning wedding venue
A small bottle of milk provided would have been nice and a compendium for things to know like the shower temp etc.
Serene location. Full kitchen. Cosy. Beautiful grounds.
The location was quiet & secluded with beautiful gardens and amenities. Everything you need for a comfortable stay was provided.
Absolutely beautiful surroundings and everything you need in the lovely cottage.
The grounds were absolutely stunning. The host checked in to see if we needed anything. We’d love to come back
The grounds are lovely and the accommodation top notch. We had only one night but it would be a great place to stay longer. We met the host who was very friendly and helpful.
The accommodation is next to a warehouse (discreetly hidden by hedges) that we thought might be noisy but we heard very little.
房子非常大,兩廳兩廳,三個臥室(包含樓上)、還有起居室、娛樂廳跟廣大草皮、小湖小船。享受到莊園大小的空間,但收費非常便宜
房間內沒有暖氣,雖然有電毯也可以保暖,網路速度稍微慢了點
The accommodation is beautiful, really lovely place in a great location. Super comfy bed in the main room. We wish we could have stayed longer.
Nice and clean
Host and property location
Heating was not enough for such a big place.
Beautiful house with amazing garden and lake views, very private Rebecca and Miles are great hosts, very friendly and helpful Comfortable beddings - we had very good sleep Very handy - Close to town
The left side of the bed on the second floor is very close to the beam, making it easy to bump your head. Need a bit more attention. But not affect our pleasant stay here. We will be back for sure!
Clean and cozy
they have incredible gardens that you can walk around with a lake
Loved the grounds. The lake was beautiful and our daughter delighted in having a go on the row boat.
This accommodation was set in a park like yard with lovely flowers and garden areas. It had beautiful cosy bedrooms. Easy communication with friendly hosts. Appreciated that the accommodation was spotless!
We had a very wet couple of days and would have loved a door mat to stop our wet shoes making a mess.
We loved this gorgeous little place. It was perfect for our needs, it was clean fresh and roomy and we had all we needed for our stay on a wet evening in Oamaru. Fantastic hosts. Exceptional
We have no disappointments.
This is a function venue. We assumed that if the property is available there would not be a function - was advised of a function only after booking and payment. If we knew there was a function we would not have booked.
Very clean and comfortable. Everything is perfect! I enjoyed this stay very much!
Everything is perfect!
It’s beautiful, like living in a garden. My dislike is that my stay is too short.
We arrived on a cold day, heating had been left on for us. The whole place was very warm and cosy. Beds were super comfy. Very large, well appointed kitchen, great shower pressure.
Absolutely gorgeous townhouse. So clean and comfy. Very quiet. Loved the gardens. What a wonderful place to stay.😁
Everything about this place - its an absolute gem!
Nothing could have been done better, it was amazing
Beautiful gardens and ornamental lake.
The property was gorgeous with beautiful surroundings especially the lake. Miles and Rebecca have done a wonderful job of making this place a little oasis of beauty.
Absolutely nothing
Lovely property on beautiful grounds. Easy drive to penguin sanctuary. Good washing machine and good shower. Beautiful spacious accommodation with excellent linen/comfortable bed and very clean. Was lovely to walk around the property grounds. Easy parking.
