Cody lovely cottage

Perfect location for our little trip away me, my 2 kids and their nana. The cottage is well maintained and we enjoyed our stay. No internet (if it was we didn’t find the instructions) but ok for 2 days. A little heater n bathroom/toilet would be great but not essential.

Nice cottage but left in the condition of previous travelers

The cottage is cozy, but it was extremely dusty. It seemed like nobody had stayed in the cottage for a while and it hadn't been taken care of anytime soon before we arrived. After we vacuumed the entire place and cleaned it ourselves, it was fine. I would recommend Bruce invest some resources in checking in on the place more often.

A very comfortable cottage for 2. The fireplace and a heatpump were much appreciated in the winter climate during cold evenings and chilly mornings. The highway is a good distance away so a good night sleep is assured. Clean and tidy. The carport helped keeping the car windows ice free in the mornings although the parking for a larger vehicle could be quite tight. Good outdoor space for the warmer times of the year.

Lockwood Eivee Cottage

Bruce has been super helpful and specific about the check in process and has been super accommodating when we had to change the dates last minute. Very nice to chat to on the phone when he explained how to access the house. The cottage has a cozy and rustic feel and was build by his grandparents. We very much enjoyed our stay and would come again!

2024/2025

Came in 2024 and left in 2025. Managed to pick up a few days in Turangi to catch up with South Island friends, so accommodation was used primarily for sleeping which was achieved with great ease given the bach is on a nice quiet street. Easy walk to local cafe and walks along the river. Can recommend.
