    John and Lynda were excellent hosts, very knowledgeable about the history of the property. The breakfast and other 'treats' that were provided exceeded our expectations and I strongly recommend the evening meal. This is an excellent place to stay if you are doing the Alps to Ocean trail, with a hearty breakfast and the option of the evening meal, a garage for your bike, and comfortable rooms. John kept the fire going which was much appreciated.

    Super cute and homely. Great welcome with chicks, ducks and dogs. Lovely owners. Just how we needed to relax after a busy day biking from Omarama. Loved the fire and cheese rolls when we were too lazy to bike back into town for dinner.

    You have to be careful where you tread due to chickens, but they were no bother, cockerail is a good alarm wake-up.

    Location lovely really friendly hosts and a good breakfast provided . Some good walks in the area great for cyclists

    Hosts were very friendly and helpful. They provided a lovely afternoon tea and cooked a nice dinner and breakfast for us. The bed was very comfortable.

    We had such a wonderful stay at Western House. We booked it the night before after a few nights camping with our toddler, and we needed some R&R! We booked the studio which was so lovely and homely, with a great en suite and shower and access to own small back garden. We were greeted by Linda who took our son to feed the chickens, which he absolutely loved. The home made breakfast in the morning was also delightful. All in all, we were over the moon to stay here and hope we can come back again one day!

    The sloping ceiling was a little uncomfortable - couldn't sit up in bed and there was nowhere else to sit. Perhaps a comfortable chair in the room? Or perhaps move the bed. I appreciate it is a very old, quaint house so I am being picky - overall it was lovely.

    Friendly, good breakfast, very helpful.
