It was such a lovely retreat after our long days out on hikes. Very clean, had washing and drying unit, and full kitchen to cook. The beds were very comfy, ours had a blanket warmer which worked great on the colder nights. Bathroom was seperated which worked well with 5 of us and plenty of hot water. Loved this place, highly recommend!

Beautiful and peaceful, with total privacy. This cottage had everything we needed, with the added bonus of farm animal visitors on misty mornings. Easy travel to local highlights, close to town but far enough away to feel like a hidden sanctuary. Loved it

The house was in a lovely rural setting. However, although the bathroom and kitchen were clean there were numerous cobwebs all over the property. The whole house seemed rather tired. The consumables were not available (containers were empty and unwashed). The oven and baking sheets were grubby. The access to the washing line was dangerous until we cleared a path. No washing powder was supplied. The pegs supplied were unusable because they were so dirty. We were disappointed to have little contact from the hosts, there were no check out instructions or handbook for operating equipment within the house. No hand towels were provided. The whole experience was disappointing.

We lovedddd this Vrbo! It is exactly what we wanted. It was quiet, clean, comfortable. Each room had a fan, which was so nice cause we all liked it cool. We definitely want to stay again in the future but you’ll definitely want a rental car & not rely on uber (hard to get a car out there)

We loved our stay here. What a great introduction to beautiful New Zealand. Surrounded by lush green scenery and wonderful bird calls we enjoyed the peacefulness of this place after a hectic 13 hour flight. Had a question about the water and the host very quickly responded.

Rosanna was beyond accomodating for my mother who’s in a wheelchair. She had measured her stairs and the angle so I could get a temporary ramp to fit. The views were stunning and everything was perfect as I stayed here the night before my wedding. Everyone who stayed/visited commented on the wonderful views.
