"Good beds/ cosy/ Owner helpful"

"Staying in a rustic cottage in such a beautiful garden is almost heavenly at this price! Almost, because the single old heater needs replacing despite fitting in with the rustic decor. "

"From the time that we set eyes on your cottage we were hooked. The beautiful gardens front and back and the birds eating apples ,,. The atmosphere of the batch was amazing., We cranked up the fire and cooked potatoes so cool; Life as we knew it is still achievable.. Will definitley be back - .thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise."

"Stunning setting and design. Excellent attention to detail. A very special place."

"Such a great stay- loved the little trailer "

"Great location, close enough to dip into Chch if wanted, but perfectly positioned to enjoy all North Canterbury has to offer, with wineries, rivers and beaches, a stones through away. Positioned in the heart of a friendly community with plenty of Cafe and dinning options within walking distance. Loved the private deck and backyard along with the bonus of the pool table for some friendly family competition. Highly recommend - great character!"

"A delightful property and location. Great facilities and luxuries. The Christmas tree was a great touch. Highly recommend."

"It started by being difficult to get a reply from the owner while booking. On arrival,we were not expected. The owner did arrive, apologised for the mix up and made an effort to clean it, but we just wanted to relax after a 4 hour drive on Christmas Eve. He perhaps didn't have enough time to clean properly because every area was dirty from floors, to shower to kitchen items and the fridge had expired food in it. It also felt uncomfortable with personal items: medications in fridge and legal documents in the TV cabinet. Games were a plus but we could not sit on the sofa as there was a smell of death, possibly from dead birds in the flue and there was a smell of cigarettes, including the bedsheets.Outside was not welcoming with a container overflowing with junk near the house and the access to the house was through a paddock of cows and bulls. The plus was the house itself was fenced off but there were still old cow dung around. Not what we had hoped for for a relaxing holiday and we chose to leave after 1 night rather than the 2 we paid for. "
