Awesome spot on the outskirts of town. Lovely and quiet.

Bryan New Zealand

The old couple is very nice. The house is warm and clean. It is an excellent experience.

Qingwen China

Comfy, tidy and warm, this place was great value for money. Pictures don't do the place justice! Underfloor heating in bathroom/kitchen was lovely! And the kids enjoyed the warm fireplace.

Ayesha New Zealand

Lovely, helpful host, very tidy house, very quiet location.

Anonymous New Zealand

A quiet location with great hosts. The wood fire was a bonus which took us back many years.

Robert New Zealand

Beautiful facilities, couldn’t have asked for more! owners even had the foregoing for us when we arrived. Bed was very comfortable & having cable TV was excellent. The owners couldn’t have been more caring or helpful. 10 out of 10.

Gary Australia

Was nice and cosy with the fire and great to have a heat pump available as well.

Kevin New Zealand

Great location great communication and so welcoming .

Janet New Zealand

Cosy and private, handy spot close to town yet felt like it was in the country. Felt so welcome. Clean comfortable little cottage. Wonderful place to stay.

Christine New Zealand

We liked everything. Having the cottage located on a huge lawn was fantastic and an excellent location for star gazing at night. The cottage was roomy and cozy at the same time. We were so impressed that we are changing our next holiday itinerary to make sure we can come back here again.
