An excellent place to stay. Very clean and warm. It was a quick hop to Temuka, which had a lot of second hand shops and a cool skate park for kids. We loved the views of the mountains and seeing the cows each day. The kitchen was more than expected and the kids and I enjoyed several games of UNO, thanks for that:)Highly recommended

Stayed on my way south from Christchurch. Everything was very comfy and clean, and the farm view in the morning was nice :) I'd love to come back and spend a vacation weekend here.

Fantastic stay from start to finish. The place was spotless, well-organised, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. Communication with the host was excellent - they were friendly, responsive, and very accommodating. The property itself is lovely and peaceful, and the cows were a charming bonus! We’d happily stay again.

Arles Nook deserves huge kudos. While the place itself is new, clean, tidy, private, and comfy it's the location and views of a working farm that are fabulous. Grab a glass of wine, sit at the picnic table on the deck and just watch nature happen. It's great! We'll be back for sure.
