House number
Bookabach had house number listed as 6052-actually is 6025. Confusion reigned on arrival as raining and photo is taken from the side of the house. Comfortable stay, middle room bed mattress needs upgrade. Generous and unexpected supplies - food and milk.

Where's the breakfast
The booking information clearly stated that the stay included a continental breakfast however that did not happen. A bit disappointing really. Should get what you pay for.

Accommodation was as expected, fire was a nice touch. Payment requirements and communication from managers was ambiguous and overly complex and had us wondering whether we actually were confirmed.

Had a lovely stay at Whange Bridge House. It made for a perfect stopping spot along the Forgotten World Highway after a long day of travel. Only surprise was having to go outside to get to the toilets but this was not a huge deal as covered area around the house made it possible without getting wet in the rain.

Welcome to Whangamomona!
A great wee village. Great pub. Friendly staff. Friendly townsfolk. Our hosts provided good digs at a fair price. This 'lost' valley is a great place to star gaze from on a clear night. Sooo peaceful! Loved it. Thank you.

Great spot in the country!
If you're visiting Whangamomona or travelling through the Forgotten World Highway and need some space - this is hard/impossible to beat! Old railway house that has been modernised and nicely decorated - we enjoyed our stay and will almost certainly stay here again! TV, Wi-Fi, breakfast essentials provided - plus some great reading on the history of the area.

Great cottage and location
Lovely location and outlook at the end of the village. Plenty of covered outdoor space to admire the views and a awesome fire inside for our chilly stay. I wasn’t aware the bathroom and toilets were outside on the porch, chilly in 2 degree temperature but all part of the stay and experience. Would definitely recommend staying here, and would stay again. Ceri was great and easy to deal with as well.
