Best stay of our trip

This property was by far the best place we stayed in our trip to New Zealand! As soon as we walked in we fell in love with everything about it. It is very well appointed. We had planned to eat out but decided to get takeout so we could eat in the room. Thanks for the home made buns and bread!

Absolutely gorgeous place to stay. Even better than the photos. We loved the complimentary baked treats that the host made - the tan slice was amazing! Lovely host who gave great recommendations for dinner at a great cafe in Castlecliff. Thanks for having us. Megan

Cute cottage with everything you need

Host was lovely, and thoughtful home baking awaited us! Perfect little getaway. Would not recommend for little kids due to unsafe mezzanine sleeping… our 7 and 9 Y ended up on the couch.
