Would leave more than 5 stars as my overall rating if the system let me. Great place, super clean and practical. Walking distance to everything. Communication from the host was second to none. *VERY* highly recommend.

Large clean place with all promised amenities
We (2 parents, 2 grandparents and a toddler) had a great time at this place. There is a playground nearby. The bakery on the town square is nice. The house was larger than we expected with huge garden (including a games cottage which included a ping pong table). The host was very responsive and helpful. Checkin was easy. And by car it was easy to reach nearby locations, such as lake Tekapo.

very good stay provided you drive your own car.
This Postmaster House gave us a real opportunity to experience staying in a good house in South Island. There is a school directly opposite. The Four Square supermarket is within walking distance though we drove. A few doors from this supermarket is The Fairlie Bakery. It was worth waiting in a long line to buy the pies. We enjoyed the warmth of the 4 beds, leaving the other well prepared 5 beds as they were. Hi, there are 9 well made beds in 4 rooms! Also, there were lots of board games, golf balls,a table football, some soccer boots plus there was table tennis table in the building at the end of the garden. Our stay was very good indeed.

House not vacated & dirty - disappointing
Towels left in shower. Laundry left on dryer. Someone else's possessions all over house (shoes, coats, in drawers). Could not find 6 glasses or bowls, cutlery drawer overflowing & dirty. Had to wash up everything before we used it. Bedroom with no curtain for one window. Shame as property could be lovely & owner information was friendly and proactive.
