I liked the amazing scenery, the friendly staff members, the adorable farm animals, the clean room & restroom, the relatively spacious rooms, the easy to use kitchenware, the stable power, the quiet environment and the young lady who gave us eggs for a cheap price along with a free, hand drawn art piece.

I think that making the internet/wifi a bot more stable could be worth looking into, so as improving the comfiness of the two single beds for the kids. Other than that I think the stay was outstanding.

Location superb as was walking at Lake Daniels. Less than 5 minutes drive to start of track. Views, fantastic . Unit was very well stocked. Very quiet. Host friendly. Good shower.

The light outside our unit was lighting up the room, after we turned the inside lights off at bedtime. Had problem with trying to get to sleep, as room was rather 'light' all night long. Thought they might have been on a timer but no. Curtain needed at the kitchen window,not a blind. Otherwise, perfect stay.

The view from the room was fantastic - cows on the pasture and snow-capped mountain peaks in the distance, couldn't have been more idyllic! Far enough from the highway that there was no noise at all. If the location works out for your travels, I highly recommend it! We had the studio room and it was fine, great kitchenette (no oven), fully equipped. Close by, we did the short walk to the Sluice Box and stopped at the hot springs for a soak. We hiked on the St. James walkway so location was great for us.

Lovely peaceful location with an amazing view. Comfortable spacious room with well equipped cooking facilities. Just what we needed after a long drive. Dani and Mark provided excellent instructions on how to find the property, and Dani greeted us when we arrived. We were able to purchase farm fresh eggs collected by their 3 year old entrepreneur and artist, who tends to the flock and draws her own unique labels on the cartons! We highly recommend a stay here.

The trip staying at this rural unit was our second visit, returning for 3 nights this time at the end of our tramping holiday. The unit was spacious, Dani was super helpful with our needs, such as needing to clean our boots for return to Australia, advice re local day walks,, checking we had what we needed etc. and the bed was the most comfortable I’ve slept in for a long while. And the views were peaceful and beautiful.

Beautiful location on a working cattle ranch.Only 4 units but each has a full kitchen. Very modern up to date motel with comfortable beds.Friendly and accomodating proprietor. Farm fresh eggs for sale but only if the chickens are working.

It is in a very isolated location . The nearest store and restaurant is a beautiful 45 minute drive away through a national park. So bring food with you if you are going to cook.

Lovely stop to break up the drive between Nelson and Kaikoura. Beautiful location with stunning views of the farm and mountains in the background. Really well equipped kitchen, bathroom (hair dryer and all), TV that you can connect Netflix too. I was even lucky enough to find a station with the Rugby World Cup final on. Wifi worked perfectly even though I was prewarned by the Dani and Mark that the rural area may cause problems. Place was spotless and was a really comfortable nights sleep. Plenty of extra blankets and pillows if needed. Maruia Hot Springs only 10 minutes drive away if you wanted to extra treat yourself.

Absolutely stunning location tucked away in beautiful grounds away from the road. Superb unit, well designed and beautifully fitted out. Mark and Dani had thought of everything; wide selection of kitchen utensils and even down to film wrap and foil. Wonderful view and totally peaceful, relaxing stay. Wanted to stay longer and will be a must for our next visit to NZ.

Everything was awesome from the friendly meet and greet, the beautiful setting, comfy beds, full oven for self catering, laundry facilities, handy to the hot springs up the road, quiet private farm view.

Having to leave after only one night

Great accommodation for a short stay. Room was very spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. Views from the back deck were amazing, it was nice to sit out there and have a drink or a coffee. We only wish our stay was longer. Would definitely recommend staying here if visiting the Maruia Springs.
