A really great place to recuperate after a long flight and break up journey from christchurch to Dunedin. Loved the stained glass windows. Exceptionally comfortable bed. Fantastic having a kitchen to prepare food. We received a really lovely welcome and our daughter loved the toys provided and settled right in. Thank you!

This is a delightful apartment in a lovely cottage It feels like a proper home, decorated by someone with an eye for detail and a flair for homely interior design. Lots of small but very well thought through useful details, like the movement sensitive lighting through the kitchen to direct you to the bathroom in the night. Everything we needed for our overnight stay was provided. The beds were big and comfortable, lovely sitting areas inside and out and an attractive front garden. It was easy to find and there was no problem with parking. We would have enjoyed staying longer if our schedule had allowed. The owner was easy to contact and very helpful.

Loved this place . Just the 2 of us & after 7 weeks of motels to have this place was just heaven . A little bit of old England, going back in time with some of the fixtures and fittings . Clean , comfortable and walking distance to town. Very quiet area. Glass of wine in the bath; heaven!We liked the wild nature of the garden and the tree trunk is amazing!

    An old villa that had been nicely done up with everything we needed. Given the cold weather it was great that there was a log fire to add extra warmth even those there was also a heat pump. The fridge and pantry had the basics too. Comfy beds with electric blankets to take the chill off.

    We loved everything about this little villa. The styling, the cleanliness, all the little extras available on hand (spare toothbrush and sewing kit proved very handy) and the fire! As previous people have said, it is truley a home away from home. We definitely will be back.

    Awesome villa, great location and loved the room and backyard area. Very nice gesture from the owner gifting toothbrushes/toothpaste for my stay, fresh towel and sheets and also provided toiletry items and food items. Was given a gift upon my departure, and overall I enjoyed my stay!
