“Very cozy and extremely wellcoming”

Reviewed March 7, 2013

St Arnaud B&B is nicely tugged away behing the trees and with a wonderful garden full of flowers. The house is very cozy, made all of wood and with lots of personal touch, We came with four kids and Margery and Russell took great care of us. The breakfast is excellent.

“Memorable stay”

Reviewed February 20, 2013

Wonderful location and fabulous hospitality from hosts plus exquisite Burmese cats and dog! Our 2 night stay was way too short. Recommended as a base for lots of walking activities. Margery and Russell are very informative and also create a relaxed atmosphere by making you feel at home immediately on arrival. Highly recommended.

St Arnaud House is a beautiful timber home set in the beech forest surrounding Lake Rotoiti in the Nelson Lakes National Park.

Russell and Margery are excellent hosts, good cooks, and share their home completely. Plenty of hiking, strolling around the lake, and relaxing.
