My sister, husband and I had the most wonderful and relaxing Kiwi Christmas celebration/getaway at Evan and Karen's stunning Kaikora Railway Cottage. Set in a beautiful and quiet setting, the tastefully decorated historical cottage is surrounded by an equally lovely garden. In fact, every nook and corner of the place is Instagram-worthy! We enjoyed lazing in the hammock under the walnut trees, chilling by the picturesque swimming pool, having a scrumptious barbecue or simply watching Christmas movies in the cottage. We thank Evan and Karen for being such an exceptional and hospitable host. They went all out to make sure that we have a good stay. Their two dogs, Jess and Summer were friendly and amusing too. We highly recommend Evan and Karen's cottage and would not hesitate to stay there again.
