15/04/2023 Thoughtful Cafe! – Love the sausage roll which was fantastic! It was a good idea for putting it in a double-layer paper bag for keeping warm longer. People are nice too! Jaclyn L

백평_금련지2024-03-07퀸스타운에서 오아마루로 가는 인터시티버스 중간 휴게소. 23일차 뉴질랜드여행 중 최고의 휴게소. 너무나도 이쁜 정원! 직접 만든 머핀은 너무도 먹음직 스러워 시도 해봤는데 내가 전세계를 여행하면서 가장 맛있었던 머핀이였음. 촉촉, 부드러움, 베리의 상큼함! ☆☆☆☆☆ (평소 퍽퍽한 빵은 싫어서 패스츄리만 선호하는 타입) 사진에는 없지만 치즈롤도 바삭바삭. 음식과 음료들도 저렴함.kaye hulena2024-03-05Fab homemade steak pepper and pea pie, great coffee and lovely gardens with play area.

VerifiedDavid2024-03-11Exceptional ☺ Very, very comfortable nice setting.VerifiedMaria2024-03-09WonderfulVerifiedKaren2024-03-09WonderfulVerifiedRichard2024-03-08ExceptionalVerifiedMohamadi2024-02-25It was a nice stay but I think the price was a bit high for the size and location of the place. ☺ The room was nice and warm. I liked the design of the room and staff were nice. The cafe's garden was so pretty. Car park was very close to the room which was nice. ☹ I think the price was a bit too much for the size and location of this room. It's very close to the highway so you can hear the cars passing if you keep the window open.VerifiedCarolyn2024-02-23Exceptional ☺ The staff were very accommodating and the breakfast included was 5 star. If you are doing the Clutha Gold bike trail the staff will pick you up from Millers Flat so you don’t have to ride the motorway and return you the next day. Recommend this place.VerifiedLance2024-02-22Exceptional ☺ Great location, clean, modern accomadation. Would recommend and use again.VerifiedBarbara2024-02-21Interessantes Tiny house ☺Großzügig und sauberVerifiedRoss2024-02-20WonderfulVerifiedNancy2024-02-19Fantastic stay in a beautiful chalet ! ☺ Food was fantastic and staff were very friendly and helpful. ☹ Nothing... it exceeded our expectations!

December, 2023.Our stay was wonderful and our hosts were awesome! I want to go back already!!Richard1. December, 2023.We stayed in chalet no. 2.Great design, well setup, more impressive in person than what you see in the photos. Other accommodation is close by, but the chalets are well designs/placed to give privacy.Having the cafe on site was amazing. We were impressed by the quality of food!Lee is very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend this stay 👌🏼William14. October, 2023.Great place, good location. Having a fenced off section round the side to keep the dog was a lifesaver. Would be a great spot to stay in summer, when you can fire up the bbq and relax.Rosalind2. July, 2023.We had a lovely comfortable night in the very cute chalet, which had everything we needed. Loved the architecture and the hearty breakfast and great coffee in the cafe next door. Would recommend to anyone, especially if making use of the cycle trails (we weren't this time, but can see how well it would work). Everyone we met was so friendly.Mori10. May, 2023.Fabulous chalet .
