Everything was perfect. There were even six types of wine in the refrigerator that we could purchase at a reasonable price. There were sheep all around, but you couldn't hear them through the well insulated windows. It was really delightful.

A friendly welcome from our host. The country atmosphere was so peaceful and relaxing. A short 10 minute drive from town. Apartment had everything we needed. Beautiful gardens .

"Comfortable and very relaxing."

10.0

This cottage was modern and very well presented in a nice private setting and looking out to a private lawn with mature trees around the perimeter. Very comfortable beds and large sized bedrooms, all tastefully decorated with a large lounge/ kitchen area. I would have liked to have stayed longer in this peaceful and relaxing cottage. When we first arrived we felt it was a wee way out of town, but when we went back to town for diner and back it seemed so close and easy to find. I will be back for sure.

The bathroom was a bit different as to get to the master bedroom you had to go through it, so if you were in the master bedroom and your friends were in the bathroom, you would not be able to get out unless you went out the ranch slider to the outside. But this works fine if your just a couple on your own.

"Excellent cottage in a quiet private setting"

10.0

A beautiful cosy and peaceful cottage. It is immaculately kept and very comfortable and the finished decor is beautiful. The bed & shower were also superb. Would have loved to stay more than one night but we were departing for the airport which is not too far away. Michelle was an excellent host. Thank you, Michelle.

Nothing to dislike.

"A lovely relaxing sanctuary in the countryside"

9.0

Very cosy and peaceful! Nice clean bedsheets and plenty of space. Michelle, the host, was very responsive and helpful. We loved seeing the lambs, sheep and cows in the fields nearby. We saw a rabbit too!

Most of the holiday homes we stayed at in New Zealand had a dishwasher, which would have been good here as it has an otherwise complete kitchen. TV in bedroom is unfortunately not hooked up to Sky/Freeview so is only good for streaming.
