We had a lovely stay, and enjoyed the recommendations shared by the hosts. While the check in process was simple, directions into the cottage was a little confusing. Perhaps include a picture of the path leading up to the cottages? Sometimes weary travellers do better with visual cues, rather than written instructions.

Great location, sunny and stylish

Great little place. Really well presented and cosy - perfect for chilling out after a busy day. George and Amber were really responsive and easy to deal with. The location is fantastic too - right on the Huatoki Walkway into town or the park. We were sorry when it was time to leave!

Fabulous and Funky

What a great experience! To walk in to a stylish, clean space with obvious owner attention to detail, what more could you ask for. The extra touches of some light refreshments in the kitchen and pillow chocolates was a pleasant surprise. We loved the continuity of the theme and felt it was not overdone. The place felt comfortable, friendly and easy to live. We enjoyed the outside area for our wee friend "Lucie Bell the dog", and inside an luxury crate for sleeping. Overall, a triumphant experience for us all and we would not hesitate to recommend or stay again. Best regards Brendon, Claire & Lucie bell
