"Perfect quiet getaway in comfort. Thoughtful details made our stay even better than expected."

"Beautiful and peaceful, with total privacy. This cottage had everything we needed, with the added bonus of farm animal visitors on misty mornings. Easy travel to local highlights, close to town but far enough away to feel like a hidden sanctuary. Loved it"

"This is a beautiful slice of paradise. Judy and her husband were so welcoming and hospitable. It was very convenient home base for our visit to Hobbiton and Waitamo. We just wished we could stay longer!"

"We can't rate the bus as it was unavailable on our arrival and in the barn for major maintenance. However we were offered a room in the adjacent lodge which was very nice - just not what we expected at the time of booking."

"We 100% recommend this property to anyone who wants to explore this stunning part of NZ. Our only regret is not having more time to utilise the kayaks and take in the sights of the river.The house is very modern and comfortable and where very surprised with a well stocked fridge of homemade goodies for our breakfast the next day. Communication with the host was easy and they were very responsive to any questions and requests.Would love to return here soon. "

"Very good."

"Friendly staff, nice room in general. Getting to the facility was difficult due to recent traffic changes. Despite instructions, I got lost almost every time returning to the room. Bed matress was very well worn, body indents present on each side, probably time for a refresh. Pillows were flat. Large roach in the shower and bug bites while in the room, hopefully just mosquitos."

"Lovely place! Exactly as described and very nice. Didn’t have to message the host once! Small warning: the house does not have AC. We went in the fall, so it wasn’t too bad, but I’d imagine that it could get brutal during the summertime. Overall, fantastic experience and a wonderful place with a beautiful view."

"Had everything we needed for one night stay"

"The host contacted us confirming they were not available to meet us due to travel, check in details were clear and easy to follow, unfortunately the outside cooking facility's had not been cleaned since the last guest so were unusable, the unit was clean and tidy but a kitchen sauce left in the unit had mould in the jar, this unfortunately soured our view and put us off eating at the unit. On leaving and checking our card we had been charged and extra refundable deposit that was not detailed in...

"It's a lovely setting, the host was warm and welcoming, the little house was perfect for my needs"

"Clean, everything on hand and friendly, helpful host. We had our own parking space and an outdoor decked area with shade umbrella. Beautiful garden setting. The only downside was available space for luggage, but that wasn't a bigger. All round would definitely recommend"
