Our guest house is set amongst beautiful cottage style gardens and on a 4 acre lifestyle block. We have fenced chickens and goats that are friendly and love visitors. Our sunny welcoming garden cottage house awaits you. It’s warm and toasty through winter with a heat pump and is suitable for singles, couples or families up to a maximum of 3 people. Close to the shops (5 min drive) and only only a short drive to spectacular walks in the Tararua Ranges. Monochrome modern decor.
There is a kitchenette with a small bar fridge, kettle and microwave, so cooking facilities are extremely limited. If you like to dine out, there are plenty of fabulous restaurants and eateries nearby like the bus stop cafe, river stone cafe, long beach, and the front room.

As an experience, you can add on an encaustic art workshop. I have my own art studio on site and am more than happy to do this. Please visit my website for more details.

We have a little play-fort with monkey bars for the kids but they must be supervised at all times.

    So disappointing. Not sure how previous reviewers can have rated so high. Missing the basics (no toilet paper, bath mat, toaster, milk, WiFi instructions), poor privacy from main house, general fit out seemed cheap, certainly could never be described as luxurious. Description on Expedia is misleading (near the sea/river!?????) and the picture on-line is of the owners house (with a glimpse of the cottage to the far right not the idyllic country retreat you might wish), and I’m no prude but please fix the very poor grammar and spelling in the description on Expedia!!!!If this was a motel it would struggle to make 2 star. Garden was nothing special mostly lawn and trees. There just seemed to be a lack of care and awareness of what most travelers expect these days. Certainly quiet and ‘in the country’ but that is another reason why having the basics to make a good coffee or a piece of toast are more necessary.Very very disappointing when just a little bit more effort and attention to detail could lift it significantly.

    Cute clean studio that was private from the main house. It had everything we needed, whilst we were in and out attending a weekend of festivities. Another advantage is that it's situated on the town belt - so you're immersed in nature whilst also being very close to the CBD.

    Lovely friendly hosts made sure our stay was great. Loved all the artwork on display in the cottage. If you are wanting a peaceful quiet time away this is the place. Would definitely come back

    The room was lovely and the outside area was nice and quite. The single bed was too low for me as I have problems with my knees, but my friend and I swatted beds which was not the best for us as she is older than I, but can get up easer. Other than that the manager was the best and helped as much as she could.
