Sehr schön komplett eingerichtetes kleines Cottage. Wir waren zu zweit und empfanden das als Belegungsobergrenze. Super Möglichkeit das Reservat ohne Besucher zu begehen.

Leider Fahrgeräusche der nahen Autobahn zu hören.

The location was great out of town but close enough to town to get supply's only took cuple minutes. This place was amazing unbelievable value for money absolutely loved it. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Knowledgeable. The grounds are impeccable, nice clean paths to walk on. The cottage was very comfy and clean had everything u wud need.being in nature and seeing all the different animals was beautiful.

The shower needed to be little better pressure was not good.

Cottage was very well set up and in a really cool location. We loved exploring the reserve after hours and sitting on the deck watching the birds. Very peaceful.

"Cosy cottage in nature reserve."

10.0

Cosy cottage in the grounds of a great nature reserve. Well equipped and quiet at night. We were able to wander around alone after the reserve closed! Woody was very helpful giving us an orientation of the cottage.

Perfect location for a quiet relaxing break. The freedom to walk through the reserve at our leisure and enjoy the flora and fauna was a bonus. Great staff.

"Feeling of being one with nature …."

9.0

It feels very special to have the whole reserve as your garden. Absolutely loved watching the Kiwi at night. All the staff are extremely friendly. Cottage very well equipped.

Maybe provide a little more space inside the bedroom cupboards. Will be great for longer stays.

"A lovely surprise and wish we had chosen to stay longer"

9.0

We had not realised that the cottage was the only accommodation on site and that we would have the property to ourselves after closing time. The cabin was very attractively appointed

Not much room for luggage although we always seem to have far too much!
