Just the break we needed

Everything was thoughtfully equipped and prepared. The historic cottage was clean, dry and warm and had that little "extra" which made it truly special. Many thanks to the hosts for a lovely stay. Well worth it.

Perfect getaway

We’ve stayed here before and will stay again, perfect for us and our parents to have a couple of family days away together, lovely outdoor area for meals and close to town yet really peaceful plus we can bring our dog which is our reason for booking properties as he’s always on the tour!

Wonderful historic cottage

My family and I stayed here while visiting New Zealand from Alaska. It is a nice little cottage with a beautiful garden full of citrus trees. The wood stove came in handy on a cold night too. I highly recommend this property to other travelers.
