If you like the chance to feel as if you are right in the very heart of the beauty of countryside, yet still want a cosy bed and comfy sofa, then this is for you! Remember it is country living though, with the toilet outside....but this too, some how helped us feel more connected with nature!
We sat up in bed literally watching a kingfisher on a tree outside and sitting on the decking and various other relaxed seating around the little cottage we watched and heard so much other wildlife.
Shane is a fantastic friendly and kind host as well and did everything to make us feel welcome with fresh flowers and fruit from the orchard, and replenishing towels and always being being ready to help . He also shared with us about the area and is a fountain of knowledge on world travel. Thank you Shane for helping to make our stay in New Zealand so incredibly special. We have so many special memories and will be recommending Quail Cottage to our friends back in the UK and who ever we meet on our travels.
