We had a great stay in this fabulous little cottage. It is secluded and very private despite being just a few minutes walk from the town of Raetihi. The only sound we heard at night was ducks on the pond and the occasional hoot of a Ruru (owl). We were wanting somewhere quiet and this place really delivered. Well appointed inside as well with lots of books and games and little extras. As we were there in a hot summer we didn’t need any of the heating but could see it would be great with the wood fire in winter too. It was the perfect retreat for us.
