    Delightful just about sums it up. Friendly owner on hand to welcome us in to the accompaniment of tuis in the trees - watching them at the feeding station in the garden was very relaxing. Everything felt right for a couple wanting a relaxing stay...

Hi there welcome to our wee place, we are Anne and Lawrence Snook, retirees. We are new to the hosting scene but hope that we will be able to offer guests a lovely stay in our detached cottage set amongst our established gardens. Having both lived on the Kapiti Coast for over 40 years we are well able to assist with any queries about the area and can provide recommendations on great places to go and see. We live onsite with our house situated at the front of the property. we sadly have said goodbye to our wee cairn terrier Rupert .And now have a new boy on the block called Taro , he is very friendly & kept away from the cottage although will meet you at the gate to say hello .
