Helen’s and Rich’s garden cottage is a delightful place to stay. On my arrival I was greeted by Helen and T-Rex, as well as a delicious loaf of home baked bread and chocolate granola. There were also fresh homegrown vegetables and eggs laid by the garden chickens! There were enough supplies that I didn’t feel pressured to rush to the shop on my first day, which helps with holiday relaxation. And well equipped - I wanted for nothing.
The cottage has so much character, as well as the wonderful gardens. It’s private but with the knowledge that help and advice is just a door away. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely return and recommend to friends.
Conveniently located for all the sights and attractions I wanted to do. The longest drive was 40 minutes - Wai-O-Tapu (which for a Londoner feels like a short drive down the road). It was lovely to look out over the lake of a morning, as well as hear the chickens chat to each other.
Thank you both so much! And Rex - a home isn’t complete without a waggy tail :)
