"This was the cutest little cottage, shared on the property with the owners house - totally separate and they were so so lovely and totally gave us our space. In the fields we saw sheep, cattle and even deer near the forest. We came inside and had a beautiful combustion log fire. The cabin was warm and snug in no time. Big comfy bed. Cooked a yummy roast (bought from Christchurch before we headed to the cottage). Owners supplied breakfast with fresh eggs and bread for toast. Yum. Absolutely...

"I made a mistake with the booking date, and the host was great at helping me change it. Good location if visiting family in Temuka. Rooms are a bit cold (not unusual for NZ buildings - poor insulation is the norm for older buildings in NZ). The motel provides heaters in each room, which helped. Across the street from Night & Day dairy, good for snacks and supplies. A good option in the small town of Temuka if you dont want to trek from Timaru or Geraldine."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Whare. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable and the decor was beautiful. It was also extremely well equipped with everything we might need for our stay. Annie our host left us with a very generous and delicious hamper for breakfast, we would highly recommend it."

"A great all round experience in a country setting, great hosts, breakfast, bed and knowledge "
