We had our family Christmas at the Cottage and it was great to be tucked away on the farm with no cell phone reception to just enjoy the peaceful surroundings and each other! The house feels like a classic kiwi bach, mismatched and retro which we loved. The kids loved running around and riding their bikes, watching the chickens and other animals. The river was a great spot for the super hot days and the cottage had Sky for our one rainy day! Our hosts were lovely and helpful, accommodated our campervan and caravan so we could have 3 families all together for Christmas! They even left us a dozen eggs which we had with our christmas brunch. :-) We would recommend for a low key, fun family holiday. Thanks so much Kate!
