The Loft
Would love to stay here again

2Bedroom Home away from Home
Great spot thanks mate

Rural retreat - spacious Cottage Close to Town!
I needed a place that was peaceful and would allow me to recover and this beautiful cottage provided me with that and more. With a beautiful view from every window and the only sounds being the bird song and the breeze in the trees, it was a perfect place for me to re-energise and refuel. I highly recommend this cottage and the care of the hosts. There was also a much appreciated bag of fresh fejoas and apples - truly spoilt!

Cottage style 5 bedroom home
We had a group of 10 adults stay here for our wedding weekend. The house was so spacious and accommodated our group size well. The amenities offered made our stay comfortable and relaxing. The bride, bridesmaids and her family got ready for the wedding at the property. The house had stunning natural light and plenty of mirrors etc that made getting ready so easy. The lighting was also perfect our photographer to snap some amazing photos of us all getting ready. There was plenty of parking available on the street. And the host had provided us with lots of local food/activity recommendations. Would definitely recommend this stay!

Farmstead Hideaway
We loved staying at Stan's place. everything was as described and so peaceful. Stan had suggestions of places to visit, especially those smaller locations that locals know about. We especially live our visits from Nyla and Sage. We would definitely stay there again.

Strong pressure for the shower. Full kitchen with oven. Big mowed lawn with open view. Basketball court with short hoop. This stay is amazing.
