Great holiday home in Castle Hill. Logburner warmed the house along with oil heaters after a day skiing. Nice strong shower and very comfy bed. We did lots of lovely walks and tramping and enjoyed coming back to this lovely home. Owners replied promptly to our email and even dropped the key off to us. Thanks Maryann.

Beautiful house in the mountains. Well set up and very comfortable. Lots of great outdoor activities close by. Was a bit tricky to identify exactly which house once we were in the village. Awesome bbq and verandah.

DO NOT RENT this place if you want a hassle free rent. We have rented many bach’s over the years and never had an experience like this. The Bach is nice and Castle Hill is a fantastic location. I can not recommend a visit here enough! I would however recommend choosing a different Bach. The key was couriered to us to our address in Christchurch arriving the day before we were going. This arrangement took several, unnecessary emails over several days despite us having paid the full rent and ‘refundable’ key deposit on booking. The key arrived with a comprehensive instruction list, including comments about their previous bad experiences renting out the Bach. The Bach was nice however needs a deep clean. The windowsills were covered in flies and when we moved the sofas to vacuum it was clear it hadn’t been done for some time. The dishwasher didn’t work which is okay but we weren’t informed. We were Instructed to drop the key back to the owners house in Christchurch and it was fortunate that we were heading back. If you are on a longer trip I’m not sure what they would want you to do but I’d recommend checking before you hand over any money. This was out of our way but we dropped the key to their home address. We left a note to inform the owners of the dishwasher fault and also to let them know that the drains did not seem to be draining properly. I received an email apologising for the above. A week later I had not received my ‘refundable key deposit’. I emailed to ask for it and was told they had never received the key. Having personally dropped it off (with the note which they already acknowledged) I know this is not true. If I hadn’t dropped off the key why had they not emailed me to say so? There are plenty of places to rent in castle hill so I would recommend avoiding this one. Disappointed
