Cottage on the Pond

Amazing, so peaceful and a perfect set up to relax and unwind.

Place quiet and peaceful...cottage surrounded by nature with mountain views. Just 10 mins from city...hostess Marie was prompt in replying. As a sweet gesture she left us cheese, crackers and sweet red apples.

Overall great location. Lots of birds. Very quiet. Best to bring your own pillow unless you like soft pillows. Very clean as well.

Excellent for our use as a base for the area

Unique property set in nature. Great hosts providing complementary wine and cheese on arrival. Highly recommended and good value for money.

Loved our stay in a beautiful part of the country. Lovely modern cottage close to Westport with very generous living and bedrooms. Would absolutely stay again.

The accommodation was easy to find welcoming with wine, bread and cheese. It was very clean. There is a lot to do in the area. We biked the Kawatiri Trail, had a meal out in Westport and a pie at Waimangaroa.The accommodation was very relaxing, read a novel. Fred the eel, the weka and pukeko whanau kept us entertained.

It was a great little getaway, and we could imagine in summer it would be even nicer being able to enjoy the outdoor picnic spots by the pond. We arrived late in the day and were quite peckish, so enjoying a beautiful fresh loaf of bread, butter and cheese that greeted us when we arrived was lovely - along with a bottle of wine for later and a ginger beer for our young one. Even though we came in winter, the West Coast scenery and atmosphere never disappoints, and the house was lovely and cosey all through the night. It was also great to feed Frank the eel each morning - we were sad to say bye to him too!

What a lovely spot. House is warm and cosy. The wine, cheese, butter and loaf a beautiful touch. We liked feeding Frankie the eel, our daughter was almost hand feeding her. We enjoyed our stay thank you and would highly recommended this holiday home.

Two nights family stay with 7yo daughter. Ideally placed just out of Westport with quiet setting and crystal clear night skies. We hit the weather jackpot able to walk around the property and spend some time on the sunny deck. Clean warm house and very generous hosts. Would highly recommend.

Amazing Location. Lovely house, loved the eel. Bottle of wine on arrival nice wee treat :)

What a fabulous place to stay. Cosy, comfortable, everything we needed. Thank you so much for the provisions including wine, bread, cheese and butter!! Amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and meeting Frank the eel too. We'll be back...

The cottage is in a very nice place. It is quiet and in the country. We loved the space and the amenities. There were a few things that needed to be cleaned a bit better. It was nice to see the eels, especially the big one Frank in the pond near the cottage.

A really beautiful, well maintained property. Certainly one of the best we've rented in many years. Generously equipped with a number of welcoming items as we arrived. Friendly host.Friendly eel as well.

Had three great nights here excellent setting, well presented property A neat place, very quiet and away from it allKids loved Frank the eel!

Thank you we had a great stay!

Lovely quiet place to stay Cottage had everything we needed except an iron ..luckily we could borrow one from friends

Everything we needed was onsite. The host had left some cheese, bread and wine for us. Just

We thoroughly enjoyed our home away from home. As an older person a rail on the steps out the front would have be nice but not really a major problem
