An absolute gem!

I was travelling with my mum and we stayed at this beautiful place for a night. The interior, the gardens and the views are simply stunning. I can highly recommend this spot and will definitely be back.

Peaceful Paradise

Exceeded everything we had expected. Stunning views, lots of space to wander, beach just below. Stay more than one night to soak up the ever changing vista. Birdsong during the day, with many fantails, swallows and bellbirds together with a snowcapped backdrop. We had one stunning cloudless night to take in the milky way stretching above us with no light pollution at all. A very special place.

Amazing stay!!

The photos just don’t do this place justice! We stayed here with a large group over the new years period and the place was fantastic - good outdoor and indoor space, close to the beach, room for dogs and plenty of activities to do. Glen and Carla were awesome hosts and brought around local food daily for us to enjoy - generous and hospitable. We stayed for four days and wished for more time. A beautiful part of New Zealand!

Quiet place to recharge

My sole intention for this visit was to disconnect from the noise & speed of city life, to clear my head and recharge. This location was perfect for that. The cottage is exactly what you would expect as an old farm house, with a modernised kitchen. I loved the farmhouse feel. Flowers, Eggs & Lemons made it feel very welcoming.I have already booked again
