This was the most memorable stay in our 10 day trip across New Zealand. Settled in beautiful country side, this cottage was very cozy, comfortable, and unique. It is just a short drive to great restaurants and other venues. About 40 minutes drive to Hobbiton. The beautiful gardens around the cottage invite you to walk and enjoy the numerous flowers in bloom. The hosts are just great. They met us when we arrived and made sure we had all we needed. We enjoyed meeting them and some of their pets and livestock. The wood burning stove in the cottage is great. Everything we needed was provided and it was excellent. The cottage is well stocked and even basic breakfast supplies provided in the fridge. We loved our stay and we would love to return.
