Awesome retreat in the native bush, birds singing in the morning, cosy fire for warmth. Plenty of room and very comfortable. Plenty of room for vehicles.

Warm and welcoming spot to come back to after cold tramping days. Thank you for another successful stay

We rented this for a family gathering - lovely family bach to stay at and totally hassle-free.

Cabin in the woods as described, kiwi bach vibe with a good wood burner which was definitely needed even in April as the bush shades the property. Basic cost fine but with the mandatory cleaning fee for just a one-night stay was pricey when you also add booking fee.

This Bach was a great place to stay before and after our tramping, quiet, clean and warm once the fire was lit 🔥 😁😁 thank you

Are is absolutely amazing, great natural NZ Bush around the area. Be aware the house relies on rainwater that is taken off the roof. It is safe to drink but I recommend bringing your own drinking water with you.

I was expecting a sign saying herbs place. also the instructions for getting there aren't that flash. Maybe tell your guests that you turn off the main highway into Bridge street, then at te Lake rd sign, continue into the no exit Hamond st and then into Roberts St. Twas very confusing for both our couples in different cars. The place felt musty and damp when we arrived, but we found the wood shed and cranked up the fire so it was much better after that. Would have prefferd to take out the ashes but no where to put them. The book says to leave them but the firebox was quite full. Comfy beds tho so that was a bonus.

Herbs Place was a great place to stay. Nice and cosy with the wood burner. Loved the opem layout.

Great place to stay with everything you need. Lovely location in the trees and easy to walk to everything!

Peaceful and pleasant

Was a good stop off on our way hm

This was an amazing place. Son and couple of friends had a great time.

A traditional bach set in the middle of the forest. Very peaceful and perfectly located for walking and the lake. It had everything we needed for a great stay.

Great for a quick getaway, in a beautiful part of the country. Thank you

This is a lovely wee bach in the woods, a very short walk to the lake. It is actually nicer than the photos show, a little dark but the sky light really helps, and it is lovely to see green out of all the windows. The kitchen is well-stocked and though everything is a bit dated it all works perfectly well. The place is super clean too, not dusty and cobwebby like other older places. We visited mid-summer but got a cold, rainy couple of days and nights and needed to light the fire. There is a heater but it isn't super effective, but there were hot water bottles and lots of blankets around. We will definitely come back.

We loved staying at Herb's Place. It's a classic kiwi bach in a beautiful location, surrounded in bush, and only a short walk down a beautiful path to the lake.

We stayed for 5 nights with 3 primary school aged children. It was very spacious and the living room is roomy. Even though we stayed in December we still had a few cold days so appreciated the electric blankets, and wall heater. The games and puzzles were a nice touch in the bach and we made use of them on rainy days. I felt like I was deep in the bush which was lovely, yet it is only a short walk to the shop or lake. We also found a track at the end of Roberts Rd which took us straight to the start of the Bellbird walk. The school was just a few hundred metres down the road so we spent a lot of time there playing tennis. The only drawback was the lack of sun due to being in amongst the bush, but the deck outside was nice and warm in the morning and early afternoon. Overall the bach was nice and tidy, everything worked fine. Nicky was very friendly with online communication and we were very happy with our stay.

Good week of water sports on the lake and a few walks. No shortage of things to do.

Cozy little batch tugged into the forrest. Very piecefull. We had nice stay and would rent it again.

Great location. Spacious and peaceful.

Perfect for our group of 6 women, great size, homey. Loved it and great communication with hosts. Thank you!

A lovely spot nestled in the beautiful beech forest. We had everything we needed and the fire was a balm. Many thanks for a great stay!

Lovely easy place in the bush, not too far from the lake. Would stay again.

Our family of five had a lovely short holiday in this roomy and cosy bach. Our 2 1/2 year old loved the dolls house and other toys. Lots of books for him also. Adults enjoyed having plenty of space, the cosy woodburner and extremely well equipped kitchen. Thank you Nicky and Ed.

Thanks again for opening the family bach to our family :)

We really enjoyed our stay. Loved the amazing bird life, we had lots of visits from a friendly South Island Robin. The puzzles and kids toys were a really cool bonus

Its a nice wee cottage in amongst the native has everything you need + a few extras for rainy days. Enjoyed our stay thankyou Would definitely return

Another wonderful stay. We didn't want to leave. Thanks.

We stayed the weekend to access Rainbow ski field. Great wee place, nice spot, warm fire

Thanks so much. Warm and inviting. Will be back

Fantastic wee bach to stay in, warm, clean and amazing location. Owners are lovely and helpful.

Was a nice spot in the tree's and was well equipped for our needs, a good fireplace was a highlight. A washing machine would've been nice to catch up with kid's clothes.
