Fantastic stay from start to finish. The place was spotless, well-organised, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Communication with the host was excellent - they were friendly, responsive, and very accommodating. The property itself is lovely and peaceful, and the cows were a charming bonus! We’d happily stay again.

Arles Nook deserves huge kudos. While the place itself is new, clean, tidy, private, and comfy it's the location and views of a working farm that are fabulous. Grab a glass of wine, sit at the picnic table on the deck and just watch nature happen. It's great! We'll be back for sure.

We had difficulty in finding property as no signpost on road so had to ask neighbour for directions. Later found house number on post but rather small.On arrival rather disappointed as BBQ was dirty as was outdoor table setting so we could not sit outsideHowever, once inside we were delighted as everything was spotlessly clean and we appreciated the facilities provided.However, we could not find the password for the wifi which rather spoilt our stay as needed to use internet and didn’t have NZ phone SIM card.No interaction with host at all although I did knock door at main house and sounded car horn.Had to drive to New World to use free wifi which was not very satisfactory.However, the lovely comfortable bed made up for the other negatives

Cute farm hutt

The hutt is a prime location for a slice of a quiet farm escape. The driveway to the hutt is almost a min drive from the road so you must have a vehicle to drive here. The best feature is you have a great view of the mountains from the small deck provided that also has an outside table for you to have meals outside. There is just 1 entry sliding door that opens upto the open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen. The lounge sofa is also a pullout bed and the dining table has just 2 chairs that sits right under the TV and is directly over carpet which is prone to stains if you have kids. The bedroom is located on the left from the lounge with a big size bed and 2 small side draws. We arrived at night and things were looking great till we realised in the day time that the owners home was just located behind the hutt and a camera was facing vehicles that drive into the hutt or driveway which felt eerily. We were having a good time till it we checked out and i saw that i was requested by the owner to pay $800 for 2.5 hrs of cleaning, professional carpet cleaning and sofa and a replacement of a can opener which im sure hes found already and place was left in a reasonable state. The downside to this place is we washed and dryed the towels on our last night and forgot to take them out as we returned from the Laundromats late which meant we woke up late and had to rush to checkout on time and also catch our flights back home. It was only when we arrived at the airport did we find the towel

Cute little farm stay

We stayed here for a night along our road trip around NZ and we loved it! Super cute little place. Both my husband and I found the bed to be comfortable, and the house was very cozy and welcoming. There was adequate cooking supplies in the kitchen for us to cook breakfast as well. The only thing that had us wary at first was check in as no instructions were provided prior to our stay through the app but we just called the host number provided and were told how to access the property. It was seamless! We would definitely stay here again.
