Beware of the cute elderly dog Tank who will visit you. Tank has been deprived of belly rubs his whole entire life and you may be the only person who can remedy this. ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle R. 19 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tranquil holiday retreat. The hostess was friendly, grway communication, a lovely, peaceful propety. Warm cabin, tranquil place with the beautiful countryside to relax. A great place to unwind away from lifes other distractions, chill and enjoy the views and ambience. Loved it! Thank you. ##### Michelle R. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Renee C. 2 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Peace and quiet in the country! We had a lovely stay in Porongahau. Katrina’s place was great for us to chill and take in the fresh country air, with visits from Tank the friendly dog and a lovely horse to pat. The Bach is very rustic, with an attached compost toilet and a gas heated hose for a shower, which added to the adventure and country charm! Katrina was a great host and very friendly.One thing that the place would benefit from is some curtains. Other than that - it was a great stay :) ##### Renee C.
