The best place ever for 5 years plus kids!

This cottage was awesome! Delicious bread, wine & butter upon arrival, a pond that was hours of entertainment for our 5 & 7 year old with a resident eel, 3 outdoor areas around the private pond. The cottage was cosy & super clean. Idyllic surroundings, so quiet & peaceful!

Two night delightful stay

Lovely, well equipped bach. Beds are very comfortable. The bach has a central geographical location, good for day trips. Really like the lake and feeding Frank the eel. The BBQ is a nice area to have a meal especially as the Weka joins you. Thank you to the owners for the surprise food and drink items which we enjoyed. This is our second time at the bach and we definitely recommend staying

Relaxed private retreat

Hubby and I had a wonderful stay at the Cottage on the Pond. We loved the tranquility of the location, the natural surroundings and bird life, and Frank was truly impressive! Thanks so much for sharing you piece of paradise with us.
