Perfect hideaway cottage, spacious and well equipped. Superb location for local attractions particularly Hamilton Gardens, and the Sculpture Park is itself an interesting and stimulating location with the added attraction of quiet evening walks. Highly Recommended.

We had an excellent experience from initial booking through to being greeted by the fabulous hosts. We were thrilled to discover a barista on site for our morning espresso hit and spoilt by delicious pies and ice cream on offer. But the star attraction was the park! It’s a stunning collection of natural beauty and art in unexpected places. A one-of-a-kind accommodation, tranquil and regenerative, and the highlight of our trip to New Zealand!
