Our family of four really enjoyed our stay at Sue’s cottage. The outlook was outstanding and the Cottage itself is well stocked and very clean and comfortable

Judy,our host,greeted us at the door.Friendly and gracious she led us through our accommodation and we felt very much at home.Beautiful 2 bedroom home in a gorgeous garden setting.Unfortunately we were only staying overnight but it is close to a beautiful lake and bushland and it would have been nice to stay a couple of more days.I would wholeheartedly recommend Watershed to family and friends plus it's not too far from Hobbiton.Thank you Judy.

If you want to try something different then the usual box, bed and window, this is it. Our family of 5 are sure glad it was on our list as it was a stay to remember. The Host is as good as they get, polite, helpful, friendly and welcoming and even had some supplies to make a pretty good breakfast in the morning. The bus is equipped with everything needed including bathroom facilities and a fully utensiled kitchen. Beds were comfy and clean. If you've got spare time there's a great quiet spot to chill down near the river.

We had a wonderful time, enjoying the beauty of the surroundings and the bounty from the vegetable garden. Mary, Rosemary and Steve were all very helpful and informative. The outside but under cover cooking/dining area worked really well for the two couples in our group.

The location was beautiful and quiet. Grounds were very well kept and the accommodation was very comfortable. A lovely continental breakfast was provided, with homemade preserves and fruit. Dinner was also homemade and used vegetables from the owners garden. Eating and talking with the lovely owner, and her family, was a highlight. We loved hearing the history of the home and region. There's also a pizza oven if you want to cook your own, and an outside gazebo type area with an undercover bar/kitchenette. Such a delightful stay and would definitely stay again.from the owners garden.from the garden

What a lovely little tiny house! Such a great place to unplug (no tv or wifi) and enjoy the surroundings. Definitely need a car to get to and to other places.

Beautiful comfortable little cottage. Perfect base for Hobbiton, waitomo caves and Hamilton Gardens. Loved our stay.
