Gray Street Cottage - + free gym access

RachaelRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Eve's place is a delightful cottage, designed beautifully and truly feels like a home away from home. Check in was extremely easy, the home was extremely clean and it was so lovely to have tea, milk and water provided to enjoy throughout the stay. The garden is stunning and the view of the gold course makes Eve's place a gorgeous stop for any traveller exploring New Zealand. I would highly recommend Eve's place.

Dark Sky Villas: Alpine Views

JingRating, 5 stars5 days ago

We had a wonderful stay! The scenery was amazing — we could lie down right outside the villa at night and enjoy the stars. The location is very convenient, just a short walk to the town center. The room was clean and comfortable. Natasha responded very quickly and was always helpful. Overall, it was a beautiful and memorable experience.

A serene outdoor space features two wooden chairs positioned near a natural rock wall. Lush greenery, including palm-like plants and slender trees, is visible, set against a backdrop of distant mountains and a clear sky with scattered clouds.

Milky Way

JoyceRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

The location is perfect - walkable to the lakefront shops and supermarkets yet private enough to that it's peaceful. We really appreciated the heated flooring - it made showering in the 0 degree weather. Wish I had found out about the 'mini library' in the TV console earlier!

A spacious outdoor dining area is shown, featuring a wooden table surrounded by black chairs. Green grass covers the yard, complemented by a tree and garden features in the background. A covered patio provides shelter, with a clear view of the open space beyond.

Southern Comfort

KelseyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Our family of four had a great one-night stay at Crystal's place. The three bedrooms were lovely and we really appreciated the washing machine. Everything was clean and Crystal was a great communicator. It was a perfect launching point for heading to the Hooker Valley Track the next morning (~40 min drive). Thanks for a great stay!

AndrewRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The perfect escape in luxurious accomodations and an environment typifying the Cantabrian landscape. Thoughtfully and exceptionally well considered accomodation with all you would expect but with minimal environmental footprint - just what I needed to get away and disconnect. Plenty of amazing tramps/hikes across beautiful landscape with amazing and responsive team. 100% recommend: I’ll definitely be returning!

Large, private 5 bedroom homestead with pool

VenaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at James's place and it was equally as good as the 1st time. For us Racing at Levels was magic, just being down the road. We were able to relax within a few minutes of the track. Plenty of room for a big Race Trailer. James a very responsive host and very helpful with early check in and being able to leave the trailer for an extra couple of hours after checkout. If James will have us & the house is free we will definately be staying again
