"Very spacious and clean. Obviously a work in progress but so far very nice. Needs tv connection. Wifi would be nice but good to be without emails for a while. Couldn’t find dish cloth, broom, small sharp knife. Would come back any time."

"The staff here really saved our trip! We had rented a car in Christchurch for our South Island portion of our trip and unfortunately had a screw wedge into our tire. Over the night we stayed, the tire became flat. We woke up to find this out the next morning, a Sunday, when we were planning to head out of town to our next destination. The manager went out of their way to allow us to check out later AND even posted to the local Facebook group to find a mechanic to help us when all shops were closed. Because of this amazing customer service, we were able to get connected to an on call technician and were on our way only an hour or so after we scheduled. The room was very clean, as well, and had a fantastic shower!"

"Great spot to jump to fly fishing spots. Appreciated the barbecue and very much like listening to th3 birds at the end of the day."

"Ida Cottage was perfect. Beautifully renovated house at the end of a cul de sac overlooking paddocks and sheep with views to the mountains. Walking distance to the supermarket and cafe. Duncan has thought of everything a guest might need - comfortable beds with high quality linen, masses of fluffy towels, well appointed kitchen. Fast WiFi, efficient A/C and heating. We loved it. Perfect for two people as a base to fish the surrounding rivers and explore Mavora Lakes. "
