Gary sent lots of instructions on how to get there, what to expect and was great at communicating. The cabin got lovely and warm once the fire was on, bed was comfy and shower was hot!

Was nice to just relax and be cosy by the fire. The fire warmed the place up extremely well. Great bird life and seeing the train go past on occasion added to the experience. Me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would do it again. Another thing I must mention is that I brought my dog with me. Finding good pet friendly accommodation isn't too easy

Traffic can be noisy, but its awesome location and closeness to arthurs pass and the general walking tracks and other mountain activities help offset this. (Recommend light sleepers wear earplugs)

Awesome options of keeping warm, plenty of blankets, sleeping bags and a fireplace with plenty of firewood and pinecones. It was clean and there was also plenty of ways to cook dinner, microwave, oven, and airfryer and toaster! Instructions on getting there and what to expect were very detailed

What a peaceful stay in this cozy cabin surrounded by nature, river sounds, morning birds chirping and amazing night sky. The highlight was the fireplace with wood provided which was so relaxing. Very clear instructions so it was easy to find it even when it was dark. Gary is super friendly, proactive and made sure we understood how to get there.

Nothing really.

Great host, well equipped (but basic) cabin, lovely new fireplace. Not a luxury stay, but exactly as described, and a great place to get away from modern life for a while (but it does have WiFi, a microwave , a hot shower and modern conveniences!)

A great stay in a great location! We were thankful to have our own cabin to stay in the Otira/Arthur’s Pass area. Gary and Dawn were very helpful and took extra time to ensure that we were aware of what to expect from the cabin, what to make sure to bring, and that we were able to check in without issue. They were proactive and made extra effort to ensure a comfortable stay. They were also very quick to respond to any inquiries ahead of and throughout our stay. Check in and check out were super easy, and Gary and Dawn provided clear instructions and followed up so there was no doubt about getting in and out without issue. On chilly evenings, it felt like a luxury to be able to light a fire in the fireplace. There is also a heater if you need it, but the cabin is well-insulated enough that the cosy hut stayed warm enough through the night long after the fire went out. The kitchen is equipped with the appliances and accessories for preparing meals in the cabin. The cabin is spacious, has a full bathroom inside, and towels and linens are included. We were also surprised at how strong and fast the wifi connection is. Located in the beautiful mountain area, you can view the mountains from the cabin and on a clear night, the stars pop in the sky because it is far from light pollution. An all-around great deal for the area and a great home-base while exploring Otira and Arthur’s pass!

The occasional train.

Large and well-kept section around the hut. Great space for the dog to run around, well fenced. Also very private and tranquil space bar the occasional train. Hut itself is undersold, lovely warm functional space. We very much enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Nothing.

Super cosy. As described.

Shower water wasn't hot but apparently we should have turned the heater switch on. Owner says he will mark switch for future renters.

Very commendable that the owner is so upfront about it being a basic cabin. If you are going to complain about it not meeting your expectations, then you haven't read the booking info properly

Nothing I didn't like. I will go back again

It was basic but comfy exactly what I needed

Stayed in November 2023

Lovely electric blankets on the beds. Lots of dry wood to light a fire. Left very clean by the prior guests. We stayed in the hut with ensuite bathroom and it was well worth paying extra verses the hut with an outside bathroom.

Nothing. Everything was as described.

Fabulous little rustic hut.

Wood fire, very comfortable beds, quirky rustic hut.

Nothing really was just as it was explained.

Nice and simple perfect for a stop over. Quiet and feels like your disconnected

The occasional train noise

Very decent accommodations for the price point. A nostalgic “ throwback” from years ago! Excellent communication from our host!
