Relaxing rustic charm
We weren't sure what to expect from an old cottage on a farm but we were blown away! So many rustic features but everything very user friendly and comfortable. Stunning views of the farm paddocks and distant mountains make for a relaxing stay. Hosts are very welcoming but leave you to yourself and we were grateful to have our little dog with us. Wish we'd booked for a longer period.

Exactly as advertised - great farm stay with friendly hosts
Great to be able to crank the open fire in a classic NZ farm house. Nice to be close to Fairly too.
