Tinui Food Forest Cottage

It was a cute and cosy cottage that had everything you need in it.

Nothing to dislike

House was very cute , good kitchen facilities! Lovely touch with plums and jam available on arrival!! Very clean and tidy.

No washing machine , no towel changes. Popped down to main house X3 times as ran out of toilet paper no one home. Closest shop 20 minutes drive awayI think for the price there should be full amenities! After 4 nights with four adults in house rubbish was really needing disposal!

A perfect quiet location which was well worth the visit. Beautiful rustic cottage in the lovely food forest setting. We were greeted by Ray and Deb who welcomed us into their wonderland. Spacious cottage, very comfortable with everything that we needed. You can also visit their food forest and see all their animals. If you are in this area make sure you stay here. Castle Point is just a short drive away which is stunning.

Although it is a bit of a drive, it is definitely worth it for a stay here. Relaxing, private and comfortable. We highly recommend a visit to Tinui.

I can't think of anything. We loved our stay.

Such a beautiful, cozy cottage surrounded by lush greenery. And the benefit of being right on the food forest. Deb and Ray were lovely and welcoming. Fresh eggs and plum jam were left for us. We were given a tour of the food forest and fed the animals Looking forward to visiting again

The picturesque, private and peaceful location of the Tinui Food Forest Cottage makes for a very relaxing get-away break from the city. The 1940s former farm manager's cottage had all the facilities we needed, including a real fireplace to keep the evening cool at bay and the husband happy tending it. It's self-catering, so we brought our own food, but were delighted by the complimentary home-made plum jam and eggs from the free-range hens on the farm. The friendly and generous owners Debs and Ray Butterfield also encouraged us to take some veges for dinner from the amazing organic food forest. Asking Debs for a guided tour is recommended, because her knowledge is immense and it is great to hear the details of how this huge treasure trove of a garden/orchard/farm sustains itself, with a load of love and tons of work. Do what the sign says, try eating the weeds - it's a revelation. And you have to meet the alpacas, pigs, chickens, goats, guinea fowl, and dogs. Then there is the gorgeous starry night sky, bursting with brilliance. It's as zen an experience as a yoga retreat in Bali.
