The accommodation was very thought out with lots of blankets, plugs, toiletries, and in a well cared for property. Our room was very clean, and it had everything you need for a comfortable stay! Thank you to the fantastic, friendly hosts. It's also conveniently located for a stroll down to the local stores.
We stayed in a family unit for two nights while we were visiting family in Carterton. The room was well equipped with a kitchenette and extremely clean. The beds were very comfortable. Good location for us and great value for money. Would stay again.
Nothing, stay was as expected.
