Great stay, great location - best place in Whangamomona

The cottage is just as described and is simply a cool place to hang one’s hat for a stay in Whangamomona. It is a 45 second walk to the Hotel (dinner) and is well furnished and set up. We will do our best to stay there again.

Great spot in the country!

If you're visiting Whangamomona or travelling through the Forgotten World Highway and need some space - this is hard/impossible to beat! Old railway house that has been modernised and nicely decorated - we enjoyed our stay and will almost certainly stay here again! TV, Wi-Fi, breakfast essentials provided - plus some great reading on the history of the area.

Stylish comfort in a hidden gem of a town

A spacious comfortable oasis amongst beautifully untouched countryside. We were glad of the electric blankets on an unexpectedly cold night. Lovely setting. Wish we had more time to explore the town and enjoy the covered deck.

Very clean and convenient. Suited our needs very well. We enjoyed the quirky touches such as found in the spare loo, and the sheep outside.
