    Location is close to everything and convenient. Room was super clean and has everything you need during a stay. Ina's communication is quick and easy, she was very accommodating and generous with her time and effort. Breakfast was delicious and substantial, would definitely stay again and highly recommend for those passing through or stopping in Waimate.

    Absolutely amazing place to stay. So quiet and comfortable, we had the best sleep here. Breakfast was superb and there were so many choices, all of which can be tailored to suit your needs and it was all delicious! We will definitely stay here again when we are next in Waimate. Thank you both, you are amazing hosts.

    Ina gave us such a lovely welcome, showed us how everything worked and made suggestions of places to eat. It was a very cold wet day so she turned the heating on for us and at bedtime I discovered the electric blanket. It was such a beautiful well equipped, spotless apartment. In the morning Ina brought in the most delicious breakfast, including homemade museli and homemade bread. Wish we could have stayed more than one night!

    Luxury in a tremendous B&B! Fantastic apartment. And - very seldom enough - plenty of hooks for our clothes. Private parking, comfy beds and every morning a delicious breakfast served in the room. Located in a very quiet neighbourhood in a small lovely town halfway between Timaru and Oamaru. And gate to Kurow, Omarama, Twizel! Thank you Ina for your generous hospitality!

    Could not be faulted. Would have given a 10 if I believed that anything in our world is 100% perfection.

    Beautifully presented and clean, great breakfast choices, Ina's home baked bread was the best we had ever had, so delicious we asked her to bake us a loaf to take home, delicious locally made jams to go with it. She was extremely attentive. Most comfortable bed we have slept in away from home and very quiet. Lovely outdoors area to sit and enjoy a quiet wine at the end of a busy day. Booked another stay before leaving, was so good. Thank you Ina.

    Could not fault the accomodation which more than met my expectations. So nothing to complain about.

    Exceptional apartment which was very modern, clean and comfortable. Attentive host who provided excellent service and a wonderful breakfast. Were very knowledgeable about the local points of interest and helpful providing guidance to explore. Will be returning for a second visit and recommend to others if visiting the area.

    Perhaps the option of breakfast left in room rather than having to decide on a time each day would have been nice- appreciate that would only work for folk like us who just want simple breakfasts and not if you wanted cooked option though.

    Lovely apartment, yummy breakfasts, attentive hosts.
