Can’t say enough about what a wonderful place this was to stay during our tour of New Zealand. So glad we chose “Black Creek Cottage” for a 2 night stay, and once we met Mary and Graeme, really wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend staying here rather than right in Upper Hutt or Wellington. Basically right in Upper Hutt, just 5 minutes away, and you are in such a quiet and beautiful area. Mary’s homemade bread was fabulous and the breakfast supplies she left for us were wonderful...jam, yogurt, eggs, tea, coffee and even some chocolates upon arrival. We cooked both our suppers here and found everything we needed. Good appliances and even a washer and clothesline for your own use. We will definitely be recommending this cottage to anyone we know that is planning a trip to New Zealand!
