Host's were amazing and super friendly- gave us tomatoes, peaches and eggs! Loved the house and the garden was gorgeous. Close to albatross and penguin colonies, and we managed to see a seal in the harbour so definitely a must-see place for those who love nature.

Character filled historic cottage in a beautiful location.

A beautiful, historic cottage in a truly special part of New Zealand. We loved our stay in this homely cottage which was a refreshing change from cookie cutter motels and a highlight of our trip. Thankyou Barbara and Ian for creating such a lovely place.

Thoroughly enjoy our time at the Cottage

The cottage just had a lovely feel about it. Greeted by the hosts with some local knowledge and some free-range eggs. Our granddaughter loved the garden and really enjoyed meeting the chickens.

The history of this quaint place. Location and the garden is great to sit out in. For kids the loft is a great hide out but the steep ladder “ as shown in photos by the property “ definitely is not for anyone who needs to use the facilities at night.

Homely cottage in a beautiful area

The cottage had such a warm, homely feel to it. While being an older dwelling, with so much interesting history surrounding it, it had the luxury of all the modern amenities that you'd need.
