It was great having a full house in excellent condition for a very good price. We were able to walk to everything as the location is close to the centre of town.

Johnny has excellent communication, a well-equipped house, and relaxing scenery with unique touches throughout. I stayed for two nights with my two Shih Tzu dogs and didn’t leave the farm, enjoying the farm animals, birds, and the intriguing sights and sounds, and also spent time reading his book about Renagour, which added to the experience. Fig is super friendly, and a joy. Fresh honey or feed the horses, plenty to explore. Check-in and check-out were straightforward, and it’s an easy drive from Wellington. I will definitely return when I need downtime.

Better than stayiing in a motel, beautiful farmland view across the valley. Hosts had put the heatpump on to warm the place up. Very comfortable bed. All the facilities of home - nothing missing, even a wood-burner stove with plenty of firewood, a washing machine and clothes drier, full electric stove and oven, pots and pans, un-limited hot water (gas-heated), proper bath and a shower (not over bath), 3 bedrooms - 2 double and 3rd having 2 single beds. Just remember it's an older house in the country, so don't expect too much, but excellent for a family - some swings etc. outside. We'll be back.

We travelled for our dog’s very first show weekend, so it was important for us to have a quiet, comfortable place where she could stay calm and relaxed between events. The hosts were incredibly understanding and made sure we had the privacy and space we needed, including an area where we could spend time outside and play with her. The cottage itself was absolutely spotless. We are quite particular when it comes to cleanliness and often find that accommodation does not always meet the same standards we would have at home - but Minnford Cottage was a lovely surprise. It was beautifully clean, tidy, comfortable, and we immediately felt relaxed. Everything had been thoughtfully prepared, and it really felt like a home away from home.

Had a 1 night stay at Ataahua Home Stay with a group get-together before the show. When arriving later than expected Julie was very helpful with everything. The house is lovely with big deck, fireplace and heat pump which kept us lovely and warm. The beds were super comfortable. Will be back next year!

The place is clean, cozy, and comfortable. We got a heat pump keeping us warm in the living room but we were still cold at the kitchen and dining area. So we have to use the fireplace to warm the house up a little. The kitchen is pretty well equipped and is good for prepping for the family! Hot water comes right in for shower that is very critical especially in cold weather!!!! everything is pretty good!

The house itself was the most cosy and rustic country style home. It was perfect to suit our large family and with the lovely wood fire stove, it was the perfect winter getaway close to the ski fields.

We had a wonderful couple of days at this cosy cottage. All the comforts of home are provided and the cottage was very clean.With both a heat pump and fire,it was toasty warm. The beds were really comfortable with quality linen. Really a spot to get away from it all and we would definitely stay here again.

Great location, neat, clean, cozy and has everything you would need. The host lit up the fireplace and kept it going even though we arrived a little later, so the house was warm and comfortable. Waking up to the perfect view of the mountain was the cherry on top. Photos don’t do justice. We hope to be back again soon. Thank you Eileen for making our stay so comfortable.
