Meg & Kevin are absolutely the sweetest people you could imagine & Bird Cottage, which we stayed in, is simply adorable. Spotless, spacious, private & comfortable. Everything (WiFi, tv, shower, kitchen) works as expected, but the setting is what sets this place apart from others. There’s plenty to do around the area but our favorite times were just sitting on the back deck and sipping our coffee or local wine, watching the sheep graze and listening to the magpies and goldfinches. If you want an idyllic place to rest and restore yourself look no further. Far away from the insanity of the modern world, the Bird Cottage is our favorite of all the places we’ve stayed in New Zealand. We really never wanted to leave.
