The Old Forge - an "Heritage' house

Great property. Great location.

Wall paper was falling away and floor board out of shower is broken and very dangerous almost fall through

The house showcases the heritage of the family who owns the property. It feels homey and reminds me of the Dunedin.

Heritage.

uncomfortable bed and loose toilet seat

The location was great for our visits to Mt Cook and Geraldine, especially as the roads are easy driving in the area. The property itself had all the requirements for our stay including plenty of hot water (all basics like shampoo, soap etc are provided too), fluffy towels, soft carpets in the living areas and complimentary tea, coffee and snacks, the latter an added bonus for our hiking activities. The local shops were just around the corner (The Bakehouse to be especially recommended and staff at the local Four Square were friendly and helpful) and the Silverstream Hotel and Carnegie's Restaurant were both welcoming, with excellent food.

Visitors should bear in mind that this is a heritage property otherwise they may be a little surprised at the condition of things like the wallpaper in some of the rooms and the basic kitchen facilities but they were all perfectly adequate.

Proximity to supermarket, coffee, petrol all within 500m. Big back yard for parking, backyard cricket, footy etc. Cosy living with log burner and a cracking record collection. Seperate living ares for kids and adults.
