Beautiful stay with the most welcoming guests we’ve ever experienced. We stayed before Christmas, and Jane and Doug had a sweet present wrapped under the tree for us. They also had great recommendations of local beaches and walks, and we just generally enjoyed hearing about the land and all of the native bird life. Would highly recommend staying here

Couldn’t recommend Jane and Doug’s beautiful cottage enough, they’ve gone above and beyond and really thought of everything. Bed is super comfy, me and my partner had a week stay and it was so homely and comfortable. Outdoor shower was perfect for after our daily beach swims. Such a great location, so many awesome beaches and activities in the local area. The surrounding nature is so peaceful & such a nice refresh for us Aucklanders, we will definitely be coming back. Jane and Doug are such lovely people, thanks for letting us stay in this beautiful cottage

A slice of paradise.

From the moment we arrived we instantly felt relaxed.Jane is such a great host, the bach was spotlessly clean, we found little treats and extras in the kitchen, lovely fresh fruit bowl and home made biscuits. It was so welcoming. Jane gave us lots of information about local trips. and places to see. We loved all the native birds around the property with a beautiful dawn chorus of bellbirds. We would recommend this place to anyone who loves the quiet and peace of staying in the country. The local beaches were only minutes away. Thank you Doug for the delicious freh snapper that you provided for us. Many thanks to you both.

About the host

Hosted by Jane or Doug

Host profile image
A Mature married couple that enjoys the benefits of our quiet surroundings. We enjoy the beaches, the walks, the fishing and the life style in general. We love our privacy and fully respect yours.

Why they chose this property

Some times we need to disconnect and recharge, Peebles cottage is simply the place to do that.

What makes this property unique

Right along side native NZ bush and steam, kiwi dwell around the property along with abundant bird life and their sounds are amazing. The night sky is fabulous as we have no street lights or built up areas near by. We are minutes from some of the best beaches in the world. Tucked well away from the hussel and bussel of traffic, people and life in general, yet close enough to visit. explore, shop or eat out.
