Shepody accommodation from NZ$158

Sign by dining room listed its hours of operation for all 3 daily meals, but when we came by for dinner well within the listed time frame, there was literally nobody around anywhere. There was no indication that it might only be certain days or by reservation only, in fact it's listed as a full public restaurant on their website, with public menu visible, we'd even planned what we wanted to order. And it was a Friday night, so even if they were only open some days, surely they'd be open for dinner Fridays! Staff was friendly but scattered. Room was small but comfortable. The beautiful antique styles of the main house are far less so in the carriage house so that was a little disappointing. The toilet in our bathroom was huge and ancient and was constantly running until I fixed it myself. Price was very reasonable. Be aware - there's a train that runs nearby and the whistle is very noisy. This is not the fault of the owners of course, but something to be aware of for light sleepers.

A good combination of modern and vintage… still has the vintage fixtures with modern amenities.

Sweet Mountain View cabin is charming, well kept, and had all the amenities we needed. The area is remote, quiet, and beautiful. We loved the hot tub and woodstove for our girls winter weekend getaway. Josh was very responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a serene place to relax and have fun! I do recommend that you have the door passcode written down before you arrive as there is no cell service and you won't be able to access your VRBO account until you are inside and can access the wifi.
