"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!"

"Had everything we needed for one night stay"

"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. "

"Even though there was a man there when we arrived, he only confirmed where to find the lock box to get our key. The rooms were very small and the equipment was only adequate. The second day there was no hot water. I read the directions in the book and found the gas bottles to switch them over. The location is very rural, pretty but a long way to stores and restaurants. The driveway is quite narrow."

"The location and property were lovely! Everything we needed to cook or wash our clothes was available and in good condition. Communication with the host was quick and easy. Definitely thinking about an excuse to stay here again!"

"Absolutely lovely property. The house was quite comfortable and set in a quiet location. The host was very friendly and helpful. I would definately stay here again."

"nice little place, quiet location. I liked the outdoor kitchen, wish i could have fired up the pizza oven but it was raining! Love the vege garden "

"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...

"Perfect for our one night stay. Clean and comfortable. Nice breakfast. Friendly people"

"beautiful spot & views. great amenities & easy to locate. the perfect escape "

"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"

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