Rapid River accommodation from NZ$145

Nice, clean, pet-friendly place. Needs to repare stool, though- it wobbles something terrible.

We stayed here for a week for our annual family vacation. It was the best time! 10 adults and 6 kids. Ranging in age from 2 to 84! The house was very clean with comfy bedding/ blankets, plenty of towels, & a well stocked kitchen. There were games, beach toys, & plenty of outdoor seating. We loved the kayaks and paddle board and it was so nice to have water shoes and life jackets available to use. Communication with owner was great! Quick reponse and very kind. The sunsets were breathtaking. I'm a little confused how you would sleep 23 in this house, to be honest. There are 3 bedrooms. One small room with a double bed.One decent sized room with a double or queen. One larger room with 3 sets of double/twin bunks. My husband liteally couldn't stop laughing the first night we tried to squeeze into the bottom bunk! He quickly ended up joining some kids on the couch for the entire vacation. Luckily, it was a comfortable couch. Then, upstairs there is a bed in a loft. There is also a very old pull out sofa with a mattress not even the kids would sleep on! It was extremely uncomfortable and it felt like you were laying directly on the metal frame. We made it work, but would have needed an air mattress for any more people. The only other minor thing was the "techy" door handles/locks. We kept getting locked out of the porch and kitchen doors and the code didn't always work. Thankfully, the main door had an actual manual lock and stayed unlocked. Overall, FANTASTIC. We ll be back!

This home is simply wonderful. Better than average stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, nice layout of house with an open air feel and cathedral ceiling, plenty of yard space, fire pit... I could keep going! This home is the last house on a dead end. If privacy and peace is what you crave, you've found it right here!
