A true kiwi crib/bach experience. Quirky little place, had everything we needed and really comfy beds. Location is ideal for getting into the forest recreation area for runs, bike rides, dog walks. Quick walk to the pub and cafe, can’t ask for more! Great to be able to take our little dog with us too.

A classic kiwi crib right on the doorstep of heaps of walking and MTBing trails. Being able to have our 2 dogs with us inside the crib was just perfect.

A wonderful way to relax with a young dog - forest walks, water race meanderings and evenings in front of a fire.

Nice time away, good place to stay

We had a great time away, and the house is located in a convenient part of Naseby. It's only a few minutes walk from the swimming dam/main entrance to the forest, and the pub in the opposite direction. Nice place to stay.

Naseby getaway

We had a lovely time, experiencing both beautiful weather and rain. The Bach was very quirky and cute. We very much enjoyed what Naseby had to offer with all the wonderful tracks etc Laura was fantastic to deal with and answered any messages very promptly.

Upgrades needed

Shower drainage was very average water upto your ankles, shower also leaked through wall to kitchen. Quite a few rodents, got rid of one mouse from kitchen, heard more in outside sleepout scurry around in ceiling and walls.

it's not fancy with all the bells and whistles, but that's part of its charm. Plus, the old-school feel adds a cool touch to your stay.

Rustic cottage

A Convenient location close to everything in Naseby. As we were out of the cottage for extended periods each day it was difficult to keep the house warm during the winter conditions. The sleeping loft however was always toasty warm. An extra heater would have helped with quick heating on our return as the fire takes a long time to warm the lower area. The supplied portable heater warmed the toilet/kitchen area nicely. Despite the shower area having an open window the hot water /shower is the best we have experienced in Naseby. We did feel uncomfortable using the microwave as it is in a very unsafe location on top of the refrigerator, and Had I looked at the inclusions more closely I would have realised there was no hairdryer supplied. Hopefully this will be rectified for the next winter guests. Overall we had everything we needed for our weeklong stay.

Great mid winter get away

We were lucky enough to be the first to rent from the new owners. We had a wonderful time. Loved the fire, and the fact we could have our fur baby with us. Plenty of beds and lots to do. Thank you for sorting the fire wood for us. We will be back.
