- "We came here to enjoy the club fields, no accommodation was any closer as it was last minute but we didn’t mind as still only an hour away. The photos really do not do this place justice, it is such a cool spot. Everything you could need, warm (once the fire is roaring). Be prepared to be cold at first if you stay over winter. It’s super accommodating to families but we would stay here with just friends also. Train track is close by but does not disturb your stay and it became a highlight of our stay for our daughter."

- "We enjoyed our stay at Mark and Kay’s cabin in Castle Hill! We were close to the walks we wanted to do around Arthur’s Pass. The area is beautiful and without many people on the beautiful trails in the area. The cabin was very comfortable and had all the amenities we needed." - "The house itself is spacious and warm with all the modern conveniences such as high-speed wifi. The fantastic connectivity of the place allowed myself and others to work remotely over the week with ease. The house also boasts many bedrooms and beds. There are a couple of odd concessions you have to make for the stay which I put down to the isolation of the village. A fantastic launch point for adventures in Arthur's Pass National Park, Craigieburn Forest Park and even the Tourless tussocklands which are all within 30minutes or less of the village. In the winter a fantastic launch point for snow activities being spitting distance from Porters, Cheeseman, Craigieburn and Broken River ski areas"
