Rebecca “The Station Cottage was awesome - clean tidy and convenient - just what we needed for the wedding at the Station venue.”
- Rebecca, April 2024 -
Suzan “Lovely location with beautiful views.”
Easy check-in and quiet place for our stay, except for the wedding reception Sat, our night of arrival. The description of the property amenities on the booking site and on our confirmation email however was not accurate, including the photos. There was no wifi on the property, which we did not know until we contacted the owner for the password. We did not have the small bench top oven with 2 hotplates on top as shown. The chairs by the TV were old, worn and very uncomfortable. Given the price, we were expecting more attention to the condition and maintenance. There wasn't even a toilet paper holder, so twisting behind the toilet wasn't so easy! The large potted plants next to the bed and doorway to the bedroom were so large they were hard to avoid when entering & exiting. And the outdoor furniture is not in good condition. No cafe voucher offered despite the 3 nights booked. We also think the price tag relates more to the location then amenities. But with wifi and some upgrades we might consider coming back sometime.
- Suzan, January 2024Thank you for your feedback on the lack of amenities that were at the property. We are sorry to hear that you felt that way about your stay. We’re discussing with the property manager and owner and working hard on improvements to ensure this home continues to offer amazing guests experiences. Bachcare
Samuel “Location was beautifullllll 5/5 stars!”
Every window had mountain views which we absolutely loved!! The location also offered seclusion, and being 10 minutes out of wanaka also offered a quiet spot at a busy holiday time for locals. We enjoyed the mountain views whilst eating meals on the chairs on the front verandah. Communication with the host required you to be able to text a new zealand number, however was fast and clear. Given the price of the accommodation we probably were expecting a slightly nicer interior and a bit more attention to detail. Bedroom and bathroom were fine, but kitchen/lounge area very basic and more camp-ground like than home kitchen. Also our hand soap, dish washing detergent and shower soap were all left very low such that we ran out. In reality we think much of the price tag relates to location, so just keep that in mind when booking depending on your priorities
- Samuel, December 2023Jocelyn “All as described.”
Great stay.
- Jocelyn, March 2023Kelsie “Very cute, clean, comfortable wee cottage.”
Opening the curtains in the bedroom in the morning to the sunrise and the mountains was like nothing else. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here
- Kelsie, March 2023Jerry “Lovely location, nice and quiet.”
We did have some trouble when we first arrived getting into the accomodation. We followed the instructions but could not contact the owner as requested. It finally got sorted but was somewhat inconvenient. The facilities are basic which was fine but we did encounter feathers on the bed our last night from a very repaired duvet. It was nice gaining tea, coffee, etc. left for our use. Overall a nice location on the station but perhaps a little overpriced for what you get.
- Jerry, January 2023Peter “Cottage was situated on a farm which provided a unique experience with almost unfettered alpine views.”
Property presents well with all comforts attended.
- Peter, August 2022Rory “Situated to catch the sun with with a wonderful view of the lake and surrounding mountains The Musterers Cottage was a lovely haven for us over a week.”
We were most indebted to the generous help of John.
- Rory, July 2022Jenny “The cottage is cute and cosy - within close walking distance to the lake and a great cafe at the bike park - it has fantastic views, is very peaceful and had everything we needed - we had a lovely relaxing stay - definitely a place we would consider to come back to again!”
Thanks!
