Great place to stay
This is the second time we've stayed at this special place. We felt very at home in the house, and appreciate that there's lots of room to spread out in. But we especially love the pool and the spa pool and made the most of them. The outdoor table area was great for spending time and eating meals. And the hosts were great, providing good instructions and making us feel welcome in their house. I hope we will be able to visit again!

Wonderful summer break
Three generations of our small family spent a very enjoyable holiday in this lovely holiday home. The house is spacious and clean and the written notes provided by the friendly hosts were very useful. The house is well equipped and perfectly set up for sunny days. We spent a lot of time in the pool and spa and lived mostly outdoors from breakfast to dinner, using the barbecue often. It was an easy 10 minute walk to the local shopping centre where there are a superette, cafe, restaurant and takeaway shops. A further 10 minute walk gets you into the town. We look forward to returning in the future. Thank you Buzz and Chris

Lovely and relaxing
We did enjoy our stay, was a bit disappointed in the spa, was rather dirty, my son who is a plumber and knew how to deal with a spa, emptied it and cleaned it out so we could continue to use it. Some of the fruit was moldy and seemed a bit old. Had to hunt for the toilet paper, and there was just enough, haha! Not sure what recycling was meant to go out on the Friday we arrived, but the glass bins were pretty much full so felt bad leaving even more glass, sorry!! Absolutely loved the outdoor area and swimming pool. Lovely weather so pretty much lived outside! Two fridges, fantastic! Overall a great stay and would rebook and recommend.

A family time in Masterton
Loved the spaciousness of the property and the hot tub (once we got it going) Big disappointment we couldn’t use the pool as it was too cold and the pipe into it had been removed. Kitchen very well equipped as was the rest of the property. Some of the pillows need throwing out as they were very stained and some too lumpy. However, a good stay.

Perfect!
We had a group of extended family ranging from 3 - 78 years of age. The place is brilliant in terms of having a range of spaces. There is everything you could possibly need... a box of toys, netflix, coffee, fruit... We had a beautiful autumn day in which the brave ones went in the pool and the spa was well used. It is a beautiful house and it's very spacious. Excellent welcome notes made everything easy. Thank you!

Lovely weekend away with friends
We had such a fab time at this location - had a ball in the pool all weekend and cooked some yummy meals in the very well-organised kitchen - so handy having all the equipment like mixing bowls, pots/pans, lots of cutlery etc that short term acommo places are very often lacking! Even had a stand mixer for when we went to make pizza dough, one of the girls in our group was so stoked 😅 Thank you Buzz and Chris for having us in your amazing home :)

Masterton stay
The house is spacious with easy access and lovely outdoor pool, spa and dining. Kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms were well supplied and comfortable. We had a great stay and enjoyed the closer driving proximity to Rathkeale College on one hand and the easy walk to Lansdowne cafes on the other. Thankyou to the owners for sharing their property with us. We had an awesome stay.

Beautiful old home
This is a beautiful old home and very comfortable for a family. The weather was terrible while we were there so we didn’t get any use of the pool. My only negative was that it wasn’t as clean as I would like. The surface areas were clean but I thought the house could do with a deep clean. We come from northern Canada where there are no cockroaches and there were small ones there which was unsettling
