The accommodation at Steonechrubie is fine but beginning to look its age. It's comfortable and quiet which is everything you need when travelling. It is situated close to one of New Zealand's most beautiful areas, Hakatere Conservation Reserve where there is stunning scenery and beautiful lakes. Hosts are welcoming and friendly. The views are gorgeous. The surprise at Stronechrubie is... More

Had a night here recently in a chalet . Pics on the website showed a very plush unit however the one we had was tired and in need of some loving updating. Beautiful peaceful spot (except for the overgrown tree outside the bedroom window which kept banging/scratching on the roof in the wind). Lovely grounds and view. Verandah outside the... More

We were at Stronechrubie for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our chalet was spacious and comfortable and the location was suberb. We had a view of Mt Somers out of the bedroom sliding doors and the place was so quiet and peaceful. Our kitchette was a little bit tired but it was clean and tidy and everything worked.Everyone...

Sad to say that this accommodation was the low point of our recent one month travels in New Zealand. To be fair, our stay here coincided with the one rainy day of our entire trip and not only did we never get to see Mount Somers, we never saw anything beyond the grass surrounding the units. Our unit was seriously... More

Food was simply amazing, the setting is idyllic....just like a piece of heaven. We stayed 2 nights &... More

My wife and I got married and did our honeymoon (part of it) at the Stronechrubie for a week. It was fantastic. Located about equal distance from Christchurch and other towns it was a great central point to explore the area from but have a place to stay that was very well kept, nice accommodations, great little kitchen (we did...

My wife and I along with another couple spent an evening here. We stayed in separate chalets. The units are very nice and tidy. The weather was very rainy so we weren't able to appreciate the immediate environment but the entire Mt Somers area is simply beautiful. For sure, the highlight of our overnight stay was the dinner. This was... More

I went to Stronechrubie with my husband for a special meal together on a chilly winter evening, and was immediately impressed by the cosy ambience. It is a special place indeed to enjoy an intimate occasion, beside the fire with the flickering of the candle light. We were greeted warmly by our host Madeline, and were delighted by receiving complimentary... More

Very spacious unit and comfortably fitted out. There are car-parking spaces between each unit, so there is no noise from neighbours. Great location for exploring the countryside around Mt. Somers. Lovely high ceiling, though this does make is a little cold at night. Friendly hosts. Good value for money.

Luenne and I had a quick “get-away” with dinner and a nice place to stay at Stronechrubie, in the small village of Mt Summers. We had intended on doing the falls walk, but the weather conspired against us, so we chose not to. We also found out that a rock slide had blocked the track anyways, so we did Geraldine... More
