About this cottage rental
This bach is let on a self clean basis, NO cleaning or linen hire fees. Queen bed, bunk bed with bottom couch folding down to a double, a divan bed, floor mattress and portacot available on request. (Sorry, less suited to more than 1 older couple at a time due to the sleeping arrangements). Don't worry - we DO have a hot shower and flush loo, but no wifi - although there is good cellphone coverage.
Immerse yourself in the rural sights and sounds and feel free to wander down to the river for a paddle, picnic, or try your luck catching a fish or panning for gold! Relax on the deck with a book borrowed from our extensive supply and enjoy an evening drink while the light changes over the Old Man Range to the north. Finally, be lulled to sleep by the gentle sound of the mighty Clutha, with not a care in the world!
Plenty of other activites and points of interest in the area, including cycling or walking the Clutha Gold Trail, 4-wheel-driving, fruit picking (in season), sightseeing historical “Gold Rush” points of interest, then enjoy the country ambiance at the Millers Flat Pub. There's so much to do, it's a destination in itself and many guests have told us that they wished they'd stayed longer.
In staying with us you are helping to fund a native revegetation programme on the property, which you are welcome to inspect.
Whether you're after a romantic getaway for two or a fun family experience away from technology that the kids will never forget, look no further.
Please note that we have introduced an enhanced cleaning policy to help protect against COVID-19. We’ve also made our cancellation policy kinder for guests, so please be considerate to others by not coming if you have fever, coughing or difficulty breathing. Please also be aware that this is an eco-friendly off-grid bach and the clothes dryer is a portable air-drying rack. ;-)

This property was AMAZING, surpassed only by our host Sarah, who solidified our love of the land & people. This bach hit everything we wanted for our exploration of Central Otago; quiet, clean and comfortable in a beautiful rural setting. Situated on a working farm, this self-contained house overlooks a beautiful river, fruit orchards and clear skies. Our first night, we could not figure out how to turn out the porch light, only to discover the light was the clearest and brightest moon I have seen in years. And we got a double treat with a lunar eclipse our second night - amazing !!! Sarah exceeded our wildest expectations with fresh fruit from the orchard, outstanding recommendations on nearby places to visit and setting us with local vendors. Sarah went so far as to help relay messages when our cell service died. When you stay here, be sure to visit TallyHo Wool Carding, about 12 km down the road; wonderful products and outrageously funny proprietors !! In closing, the only reason we rated Sarah and her property as a 5 is there is no 6 or above !!! We will travel a day out of our way to stay here again, even if for only one night. A must stay in Central Otago. Sarah - thank you for being “The host with the most” !!!!

Really beautiful setting, house was small yet very comfortable with a log burner that was more than up to the job of heating the place.
Would highly recommend.
Only one thing to be aware of, and this is in no way meant as a negative. If the weather is wet cars such as the sisters Prius will experience difficulties getting up the last section of the lane.
