Brian and Val and their family are very helpful and friendly hosts. The house is set in a picturesque garden that creates such a peaceful and beautiful atmosphere. Inside, everything is very clean and homely, making us feel right at home. We were particularly impressed that everything used in the house has been chosen with environmental friendliness in consideration. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We had an amazing night at the cottage, it was very peaceful and private, just what we wanted for a bit of time away. It was a really hot day and it would have been nice to use the deck a bit more, maybe a table with an umbrella for some shade would have been nice for the afternoon, and possibly a BBQ available for cooking outside would be my only suggestions, but we highly recommend the cottage, Valerie and Brian are great to deal with, we would love to stay again in the future.

Lovely welcome by our hosts with a box of chocolates to celebrate the New Year, a nice touch, as was the milk in the fridge!! As the name suggests this IS a hideaway and a blessing to come and sit and relax away from life's hustle and bustle. Nice kitchen, bathroom and comfy bed. No curtains in lounge area so morning sun was a bit bright and warmed up the room quickly but the air con helped. Would love to visit again later in the year as it is only 2hours from Auckland.
