Kind Words
It is our pleasure to welcome guests into our home. Over the years, we have had the privilege of meeting some wonderful people. Their genuine appreciation and kind words continue to inspire us.
“Naturally in the countryside - but with great views and close to St. Bathans. Everything was very clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated. Large breakfast and lounge area with giant TV and all facilities - additional games room.
So it's also perfect if you need to fill a rainy day. But the best thing is the owners. Extremely friendly and helpful. We actually spent the evening together over a glass of wine and exchanged highly interesting family stories, even though we were only there for one night. On the other hand, they took our privacy extremely seriously.

“We loved everything about our stay from the moment we arrived. Winnie the dog was the welcoming committee, followed by Anne. Our ensuite room was large and the bed and linen was first rate.
Dinner, by prior arrangement was a self-cook bbq. Anne provided choices of meats, a fabulous couscous/ roast veg salad and potatoes. Dessert was delicious freshly stewed fruit and cream. Breakfast was provided, also self serve with ample choices. Green rolling hills, a large dam and surrounding farmland. Both Anne and Ewan are wonderful hosts and couldn’t do enough to make our stay unique and memorable.

“Thank you for the wonderful place to stay during our Otago Central Rail Trail trip.
Thanks Ewan for the unorthodox pickup when we went to the wrong place!
We are planning a winter trip back here. Thank you”.

“Anne and Ewan were our hosts and are a very kind and sweet couple.
I love how the house is decorated tastefully including the excellent selection of body wash and lotion.
We chose 74 on Lockhart because of their beautiful rural location and were lucky to see wonderful
night skies”.

”Anne and Ewan were incredible hosts who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was as enjoyable and comfortable as possible after a cold and wet day on the Otago rail trail in the middle of winter!
The evening meal was very homely and we enjoyed exchanging stories by the open fire with a glass of wine and cuddles from Winnie the dog! Would highly recommend to anyone planning a trip to Central Otago”.
