Perfect stay.

Noel and Gill were very welcoming. The cottage was in a lovely set up private and surrounded by trees. Lovely little touches like home made baking on the bench when we arrived. They have thought of every little detail.

Perfect Stay

Very tranquil. Gill had thought of everything and left us to ourselves, which we like. 3 minutes from Cromwell, it felt worlds away. Super comfortable bed and every we needed for a lovely stay.

Idyllic place to unwind. Loved coming back after enjoying days out visiting the local area.

Peaceful setting on outskirts of Cromwell. Lovely retreat. Lives up to it's name. Great base for vineyard tours, walking or biking trails. Excellent facilities with all the amenities.

Owners were terrific hosts and made sure our stay was enjoyable.

The breakfast was generous and delicious! The granola was full of goodness which went beautifully with the vanilla yoghurt and stewed apricots. They provided a quality coffee making machine with pods.

The Garden of Eden!

Burn Cottage Retreat is an epic place and we enjoyed every single minute there. The garden is absolutely stunning and the cottage is beautiful and soooooo clean. It is equiped with all you need! Never seen such neat drawers in my entire life :). Gill and Noel are lovely and kind hosts. They put all their heart, soul and hard work into this epic place to share it with travellers like us. We feel blessed that we had the opportunity to stay there for a few days. We where spoilt every day with treats from Gill's kitchen, which we really enjoyed. I want to thank Gill once again for helping and assisting me in a medical issue while I was there. It is much appreciated. Definately the most beautiful place we stay at in NZ!
