Stunning spot in Waimate! The house is well laid out for large groups or travelling colleagues. Can't fault a thing! There was yummy fruit on arrival and everything is provided. Warm, cosy and a beautiful outlook. Best airbnb we have stayed in!! Hopefully our work brings us back Waimate way in the future so we can visit again!.

This is one of the best AirBnB experiences I have had. Not only was it clean and comfortable, Dina had gone above and beyond to provide thoughtful touches that made us feel very welcome. A peaceful and lovely spot. We hope to be back one day!
