Idyllic retreat in the country
Started with excellent communication prior to arrival. John and Sarah were wonderful hosts. The setting/location is beautiful. This quaint cottage has been tastefully modernised and provided everything we needed for our long weekend stay. Thoroughly recommend this property and the hosts.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The cottage is in a beautiful rural location in the Hawke's Bay region. It's secluded, secure and very comfortable. The manager and owner, John, was very welcoming, friendly and helpful with tips about where to go and what to do. The surrounding area has stunning forests, lakes, beaches and walks of all levels of difficulty. Groceries and other supplies can be bought in the nearest town, Wairoa - about 15 km away. Appliances all worked well and there was plenty of hot water. A car is essential to explore the region. Overall, this was a wonderful place to stay in the New Zealand countryside that was relaxing and comfortable in a beautiful area with many great options for outdoor activities.

Great stay in Stable Cottage
Perfectly snug, warm cottage with great facilities. We loved our stay and will be back to take John up on his offer of a walk around the farm. Awesome river views and farmland all around. Peaceful. Everything we needed was on hand.

Beautiful beyond description
We feel like we went back in time, to somewhere in the 1931, the atmosphere of the place tells so much History, and we feel like we were part of that history. My little family traveled a lot, but this one will be unforgettable for a very long time! We can never had enough of waking up to that mountain view. So beautiful! 💯%❤️ from the little 🇹🇴family.

Can’t speak highly enough of our time here. John was the perfect host: generous, warm and unimposing. The grounds were beautiful and the cottage had everything we needed. We will definitely try to return. Thank you
