Excellent stay
My partner and I booked a last minute getaway and Sarah was incredibly accommodating from the get-go. The space was larger than expected, and the location was great (about 10 minutes outside of town, and quite private). It was clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Would absolutely recommend!

Hi there - I'm Sarah. Just one half of your holiday hosts. My husband Palmer and I are both Manawatu locals and we love being able to share what our region has to offer. While we live onsite in the main house, The Cottage has been purposely created to give you a sense of peace and privacy in a beautiful rural setting only a stones throw to all the popular attractions. Resident dog Tilly will be sure to introduce herself on arrival. We are available if needed, however are respectful of your privacy so make ourselves conspicuous during your stay.
