Charming older style cottage .

This holiday home is situated 3km east off Reefton in the historical settlement of Blacks Point . The cottage backs onto the Inangahua River, great for summer swimming. Excellent fishing area. Close to the bush - excellent tramping hunting and mountain biking opportunities. Blacks Point has a museum where an extensive collection of historical items are on show. There is also a working water driven gold stamper. The nearby town of Reefton is steeped in gold and coal mining history . The town has a golf course, hotels, cafes, and an information centre.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

The bach is clean, comfortable, it has all we needed and an escape from the grind of city life. There are great walks from the bach with local history. The museum is worth a visit.

Perfect
The communication with the owner was fast and let us check in abit earlier as our time management sucked haha but cottage was such a perfect little place. It had a portacot we could use for our babie had all utensils and only need to provide our food and linen. The river in the back was an awesome part of the stay. Location is nice and close to the museum and not far from town to stock up on tthe food. Such a nice stay would highly recommend and would definitely rebook. Wish could have stayed longer

Fantastic place- highly recommend!
House was very clean, radio playing on arrival was a lovely touch. The property has two nice decks depending on where the sun is. House is a decent size with one bedroom even having a portacot in it. River is at the end of the property and requires a little scramble down the bank (steps are wearing away) but was a great place to swim on a hot day. Lots of sandflies as usual on the Coast but surprisingly much less aggressive than other places. Great walks across the road and good food in town. Overall a great host and a great stay!

Short stay in Reefton
The cottage is comfortable and equiped well for a self catering break in Reefton. The owner responded quickly when the heat pump wouldn’t work. However, with no wifi available at this cottage we were relying on our mobile phones, unfortunately it doesn’t get any signal. So if you want to get away from modern technology this is the place for you.

Is what it is
A batch in the bush, in the mountains. Price is great, area is fantastic, the batch was great. River in the backyard. Visit the museum if you can, well worth it. You get a personal tour and explanation of the history and a view of a working quartz crushing machine. Close to Reefton and shops. Internet is a challenge, I used my phone to hot spot the family and put it up as high as i can in the lounge to make it work. Finding the batch can be tricky first time, hard left, road runs parallel with highway and is next to it.

Right on the river
This truly lived up to it's name as a charming cottage backing onto the river. Black's Point is a picturesque little village nestled in a valley just outside of Reefton and we had a nice time wandering around and visiting the Museum across the road. We visited in autumn and the heat pump quickly warmed the living areas of the house up. The bathroom remained chilly - but this is an old cottage, so that is expected. We would have loved some soft, cozy blankets to use while watching TV in the evenings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

No wifi or cell reception and not mentioned in the listing. Not prominent either that guests need to bring their own linen. No response from owner when we left without staying due to lack of wifi and cell. Ridiculous, really.

Great charming older cottage (read instructions carefully on how to get there). Would stay again 😊 Be wary of only a single powerpoint in each room being an older house

Quaint, Quirky, Minimal
Overall an okay stay for a weekend getaway. Using the address in Google maps to find the place was not accurate, and it hasn’t got a house number. (and no we didn’t read the lengthy blurb about directions) whoops. The Bach has rustic charm indicative of the era and area. Make sure you take insect repellent and fly spray! We felt the place lacked some basic amenities, such as hand wash or salt and pepper in case you wanted to cook. In fact it’s best you take just about everything with you. Beds are firm. The CD collection was a nice touch though, and TV was a good option for a rainy afternoon.

Welcoming and comfortable
This cottage is in a very pleasant spot and it has good outdoor sitting spaces. The interior is comfortable and heated by a very efficient heat pump, which we appreciated in the cooler weather we experienced. The quietly congenial host lives next door. We would like to return sometime.

Great hosts very accommodating, interesting building
Wasn't 100% sure we checked in to the correct house at first (there are 3 batches there), we had to go off the photo from different weather and found there was an extra bedroom inside!? The place was decent, good size, interesting old building with additions and unique facilities. Pretty much everything we needed was there, except for a knife to slice our tomatoes. We forgot our linen and the hosts were very kind and generous. I would recommend this place if you want no hassles. Cell phone reception was fairly bad/intermittent which may be a good thing if you want a break from technology.
