Lovely, well-equipped house
We loved it. Very nice interior and garden, comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen. Only drawback: the thick carpet was quite dusty and triggered a dust allergy we didn't know about until then...

About the host

Host profile image
The owners have had 25 years experience with owning and managing property on the shores of Lake Jindabyne in the Snowy Mountains region of Australia. They now bring their love of fly fishing, gardening and alpine habitat to Rod and Wheel House in New Zealand.

Why they chose this property

Rod and Wheel House was purchased in 2013 and is adjacent to Oreti River House. Both houses offer self contained accommodation in a private garden setting in a beautiful part of New Zealand. Both houses have been renovated to a very high standard and offer superior levels of comfort and privacy in the friendly town of Lumsden. The town offers fabulous brown trout fishing, excellent off road cycling, is near to some of New Zealand Great Walks and Conservation Areas and is close to many beautiful sightseeing spots.

What makes this property unique

Rod and Wheel House offers a memorable summer or winter destination for guests requiring something tranquil, cosy and comfortable. It is only one hours drive from Queenstown, Te Anau or Invercargill and provides quality accommodation for visitors interested in a wide range of sporting and tourist activities. A unique place to stay on the South Island of New Zealand surrounded by spectacular rivers and scenery. The house is very snug and offers a real home away from home. We have tried to include many special comfort items such as complimentary WiFi and lots of DVD's. We have high quality kitchen features and very comfortable beds and couches. Enjoy the beautiful South Island of New Zealand while staying in a really well appointed and welcoming home.
