"Very relaxing week. Comfortable cottage. Magnificent gardens. Penny was very friendly and helpful. Would love to return."

"Was a nice break"

"Beautifully located next to Mt Richardson DOC area with lots of forest walks at your doorstep. The property is huge and great for adventures for little kids (away from screens). The house is warm and beautifully recently decorated. Comfortable beds and nice bedding. There is no internet available and therefore no smart TV access (not necessarily a bad thing but notable). Would love to stay again in the summer months. "

"It was a real privilege to stay at Lyddington. The cottage is comfortable and well provisioned, the host amiable and the setting something that Capability Brown could have imagined. It was truly a charming and relaxing time"

"Fantastic communication. Exceptional house and totally recommend anyone looking for a base to discover North Canterbury and/or Waipara wine country. Thanks so much"
