Beautiful and peaceful, with total privacy. This cottage had everything we needed, with the added bonus of farm animal visitors on misty mornings. Easy travel to local highlights, close to town but far enough away to feel like a hidden sanctuary. Loved it

We lovedddd this Vrbo! It is exactly what we wanted. It was quiet, clean, comfortable. Each room had a fan, which was so nice cause we all liked it cool. We definitely want to stay again in the future but you’ll definitely want a rental car & not rely on uber (hard to get a car out there)

We loved our stay here. What a great introduction to beautiful New Zealand. Surrounded by lush green scenery and wonderful bird calls we enjoyed the peacefulness of this place after a hectic 13 hour flight. Had a question about the water and the host very quickly responded.

Rosanna was beyond accomodating for my mother who’s in a wheelchair. She had measured her stairs and the angle so I could get a temporary ramp to fit. The views were stunning and everything was perfect as I stayed here the night before my wedding. Everyone who stayed/visited commented on the wonderful views.
