Another wonderful stay at such a gorgeous little bach. You can feel the love and life in this place. It may not be fancy but it is everything we needed for a relaxing stay in such an incredible location.
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful old cottage that is clearly loved. The kids made themselves at home and had a fantastic time exploring the house and surrounds too.
Lovely fire as the temp's dropped at night, it heated the house almost instantly . Comfy bed with nothing but bird song to break natures silence. 2 short bush walks to choose from to get down to the lake and further walks.. and a walk away for a wonderful meal at the Alpine lodge.I didn't realise there was no wifi available and could find no instructions to the 4 tv remotes. We loved it otherwise. Thanks so much for hosting .
Classic Kiwi bach with everything we needed for 2 night stay. Couldnât find an info folder which would have been handy. Right next to Black Valley walkway. Recommend taking boat to Lakehead Hut jetty & walking the track back to Kerr Bay (3 hours)
Astelia cottage felt like a home away from home. Very tidy warm and cosy and very peaceful. Great location to some very beautiful lakes awesome hikes for the light hearted and the brave and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking.
Ideal location, walkable distance on nice tracks to the lake, shops and school playground. Nice old bach, still very functional. Great for a young family.
We enjoyed the tranquility and serenity of this venue. It's within easy walk of short local walks and longer ones. Our 19 month grandson visited for a day and he happily and easily managed the nearby walks with so much for him to explore. Lovely, homely place to stay with welcoming information from the owners.
Authentic kiwi bach with lots of atmosphere. Clean and tidy and enough room for five guests. Wood fire available for winter months. Easy walking distance to the lake front and Alpine Lodge for coffee and food. Situated in the native bush with plenty of amazing bird life.
Bach was lovely and cosy.
Warm, comfortable and well equipped.
Beds and shower were great.
Awesome location. Thoughtful owners.
Thank you, we had a fab Easter holiday.
Astelia is a Cosy Cottage, handy to walkways & amenities. Fire box definitely a bonus very efficient, instructions excellent and FYI jug performed perfectly once instructions. were consulted. We enjoyed the old school reading materials and poured over the wall maps, thankyou for having us.
Another wonderful stay here. St Arnaud is such a wonderful little town and the property provides an authentic Kiwi bach experience.
Potentially a little bit hard to fit all the linen etc. in your bag if you are flying (depending on how heavy of a packer you are) so just be aware of the linen requirements before booking :)
Plenty to do with an hours drive - Murchison Golf Course, Red Park Golf Park etc. Great collection of DVDâs and books. Beautifully positioned by the stream and native forest. We loved playing Trivial Pursuit and lighting the log burner. Loved it so much we messaged the owner and asked if we could extend our stay. We were delighted when she messaged back with 10 minutes to say we could. Would definitely come back!!
