This little place was the most perfect cottage experience. My kids have not stopped talking about the animals and the atmosphere. At night we sat around and watched the shooting stars, light pollution is non existent here.
We have been traveling around the north island doing one night stays in different parts of the country to maximize our experiences. My kids said it was their favorite place we’ve stayed so far. Including the one night we had at the Sheraton in Auckland. High praise indeed.
The little cottage was charming, clean, and well stocked with little breakfast items. It was a real treat to meet the owner as well. Jane was so kind and generous. We were lucky to have her around as she shared her beautiful animals with us. My kids were able to feed the sheep and her cows. My daughter has seen her ideal lifestyle. She is quite an animal lover.
My son said he felt like a real hobbit in the home. He’s 12 and just finished reading and watching the hobbit. It’s small but perfect. We were only minutes away from Hobbiton and the blue springs which was recommended by Jane. It was all beautiful. I highly recommend this place.
