Summary: House was amazing I don’t think the photos do it justice. Arrived and the fire was on. Also first guests to use the newly built stunning sauna that looked over the farmland. Would recommend

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay at Torokiki Bach. Catherine and Jeremy were wonderfully welcoming hosts and very helpful. The Bach is lovely, the layout was perfect for our extended family group. Lovely and warm with everything we needed. The location was very peaceful and the bush walk up the road was a good wee activity on a non skiing day. The kids loved seeing the trains pass by a few times each day. We couldn’t recommend Torokiki Bach more highly. Thank you so much Catherine and Jeremy for sharing your slice of paradise with us.

Summary: We loved our time at the bach - we loved the elevated location with great views, the quiet, the birdsong, and the stylish comfort of the bach itself.

Summary: Beautiful house which suited us perfectly. Only minutes from Springgield but felt a world away. Native bush walk (Kowai Bush) a stones throw away. Great outdoor areas overlooking the train line. Waves from people on the Fresh banana brad on arrival enjoyed on a trek the next day. Thank you!

Summary: We had a lovely few days at this very well-appointed bach. It had everything we needed and more (pizza oven!)Thanks Jeremy and Catherine for a great experience.

Summary: A beautiful and well-maintained space. Fabulous layout for two semi-independent parties to be able to come together whilst having their own space. Well-equipped kitchen with HUGE oven and stove top. Lots of large, east-facing windows and doors that open onto a spacious deck and lawn so easy to basque in the early-morning sun. Great to wave to the folks on the Trans-Alpine twice each day, and to see all of the recently planted native trees in and around the property. Fantastic power shower and cast-iron bath, and easy communication with the property owners. I would not hesitate to recommend Torokiki to others.

Summary: Stayed 3 nights at Torokiki, could have stayed longer. Private, warm, and comfortable with great views and the occasional train marking time for us. A magic spot. Thanks so much Jeremy & family. Hoping to make it back with the elders in tow, now we know how easy it all is. Cooking wood fired pizzas (in a thunderstorm!) was great fun and more than accounted for our problems understanding the oven controls. Hard to fault though really, our only suggestions would be some instructions on using both indoor and outdoor ovens, and a small file of maps & brochures about surrounding walks and attractions.

Summary: Thanks so much for a lovely stay. We had everything we needed and the property was beautiful. A nice short trip from Christchurch. Loved the pizza oven!
