Book Hotels in Stronvar

"A lovely spot with all the basics available. Great to be able to take the dog and accommodate visitors."

"Open plan kitchen/living area, 3 bedrooms and separate rooms for the loo and shower/bath. Decks out front and back. Lovely view. There’s a wood burner and loads of logs under the house. The house is fairly well insulated. Shops are 90mins away in Carterton. Bring loo paper! Tap water is from a tank and had a bit of an odd taste, fine for kettle & washing up. We brought bottled water for drinking. Kitchen has the usuals. We couldn’t get the BBQ to light so used long matches that we brought - not sure if matches supplied. The gas for water heating ran out while we were there. The owner was quick to respond and told us how to switch to the other tank. Wind dial closed on existing tank (lighter), flick a switch and then wind dial open on other tank (heavier). About 40 baches in the area with a few for sale. Not sure if there are any perm residents. The McGuiness family own 7000ha and subdivided for baches. Apparently the airstrip was built to save the son having to go to Masterton for flying lessons. We couldn’t get a mobile signal but there’s internet (~30Mbps) via a microwave link to the hilltop. Lots of paua shells on beach. Check tide times as walking easier at low tide. Walk access to beach via a path (right at the bach road T junction). The bach keyring has a red key for gate to drive onto the beach (over the single lane bridge & turn right). Last 25km of gravel road was tedious. A bit hair raising on the final bit of road - down hill/narrow with bits washed away!"

"Nothing can beat the view from the lounge and master bedroom. The Bach is roomie and the location was perfect, we can’t wait to stay again!"

"Nice place for a few days to spend time away from the city. Great location to sit outside reading a book or taking the short walk down to the river. My son loved visiting the guinepig hutch and Zeus the lovely dog who decided on joining us for walkies!"

"The location was great. Our room appeared to have been updated. It was immaculate and well appointed. We had parking just outside the room which I really appreciated. The facilities were quite extensive. We didn't get around to trying the restaurant. The staff were all friendly and helpful. When our kettle stopped working it was replaced immediately. I will definitely use them again. "

"Great place to stay. It was very clean. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The room was spacious. The bathroom had lots of space. The shower had tons of pressure with hot water. "
