Positions amazing!

We were very happy here and found the house spacious and clean. The heating was more than adequate, the kitchen well equiped and beds extra comfy. The amazing view of BULLER and the mountain range was truly stunning as were the king parrots that came onto the deck. An enjoyable place to stay in the high country.

Single night getaway with a group of friends.

We loved our single night stay in Tony’s double story home, the deck space gave us excellent space to enjoy the wide views. we chose to eat out in Mansfield during our stay which was 30 mins away, if you do like somewhere close to pubs and restaurants then surf to mountain probably isn’t the right choice for you.

Wow wow wow!

We absolutely loved this property. The house was even better than it looked on the website and was perfect for our group of 10 people and 2 dogs. Plenty of space and everything we needed was there. The view from the deck is spectacular and the stars at night were incredible. We all wished we could have stayed for longer. Would love to come back and enjoy it all again. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us!
