SingaporeDes and Lynlea are great hosts, coming in to check on me from time to time, making sure everything was adequately provided for. Yet giving me space i needed. Their 3 pups definitely added to the overall experience.
Checking in, Des took me around the house to familiarize and turned on the radio just so things werent so quiet. Made sure i was aware that i could use his appliances and devices.. Strong wifi.. Kept the fireplace going at night so that the house is always warm since i was up at night, aurora hunting and star gazing. (The location is awesome for it!!)
Its their attention to small details that really warms the heart.
Furthermore, u can look out into wide skies with minimal light pollution..
Parking is just out front, very convenient.
Kitchen is well equipped. Like other hostels and backpackers, u clean up after yourself which is great! Bathrooms and toilets are separated. Very clean and minimal (bring ur own bathing supplies)..
As a solo traveller, i chose to stay in a 8 bedder.. there wasnt many guests sharing during my stay so i practically had the whole room to myself.
There are cubicles to put away your things.. the bed is comfortable and duvet thick enough. The drawstring curtain blocks out light which is awesome. The charging points are just beside the bed, very convenient.
Definitely recommending Penny's for ur stay! Its very clean, well maintained and very reasonably priced compared to other accomodations around the area. A very understated place near cromwell/wanaka. Will return!
