Stayed Jun 19, 2025We had a lovely stay at Kea Cottage for an annual friends and family getaway. The space was perfect for shared food, drink and games, and safe for my toddler to run around in too. It was lovely and sunny during the day and the fire warmed us all thoroughly at night.

Stayed Jun 11, 2024Stayed in the cottage with my family for a short holiday. House was the perfect size for our family, well appointed, and cozy. Great view of the mountains for the sunrise and excellent stargazing at night. Loved the wood stove! Would definitely stay again.

Stayed Mar 20, 2024This is our third stay at this lovely cottage that is a great location for exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside. Candy is always clear and prompt in communicating and the cottage is always spotless and comfortable. We especially like the layout with two large bedrooms with ensuites (plus an additional bunkroom for kids). Great for two couples , a family, or two singles.

Stayed Feb 4, 2023We really enjoyed our stay at Kea Cottage. We had four adults and two kids (3 & 5) and it was the perfect place for us - really spacious, modern and had everything we needed. Great indoor outdoor living and the kids loved playing outside. Thanks for having us!

Stayed Dec 26, 2022This our second stay at Kea. We love the cottage and the area. Tracey (the cottage manager) is friendly and prompt in responding but otherwise you are completely private. The cottage is comfortable and clean and has everything you could need. Wonderful drives to stunning scenery in the area. We’ll be back!

Stayed Oct 27, 2022Our second stay at Kea Cottage was as good as the first. A lovely open living area with a good deck and lawn give the family plenty of space to roam. The bach is warm and comfortable. Set on the outskirts of Methven it has a sense of quiet, perfect for a relaxing stay.
