Just an outstanding stay with wonderful hosts who have created a warm and creative atmosphere inside and out. We felt hugely welcomed. âŠand our dog Elton had the time of his lifeâhe arrived back home happily exhausted!
lovely little cottage with everything that a couple could need for a getaway. The local pub was a bonus for some yummy cheap meals but with all of the fantastic facilities in the cottage, there is no need to go out if you don't want to. The special touches such as the home stewed plums for breakfast were lovely touch. would definitely recommend this spot to others.
Very enjoyable being in country atmosphere. Was cool having dogs coming in for a pat.Host was very nice to talk to. Accomodation was very nice. approachable and nice to talk to. Acvomm
We enjoyed a very relaxing stay in the lovely appartment. Max and Steve are super hosts!They are very respectful of the guests' privacy, open to questions and happy to share a chat with a good sense of humor. The garden is lovely to walk in or to sit and watch the animals and the surroundings. The dogs, Bailey and Digby, are great friends, well behaved, obedient and sociable. We were guests for three nights and would have liked to stay for a month.
We stopped here for one night after flying from New York to Christchurch. Peaceful and restful small-farm setting helped greatly with jet lag. The cottage was lovely and squeaky clean. Our hostess Max was friendly and cordial.
Dogs, decent coffee, delightful hosts and damn fine stay.
Loved our stay. Max and Steve super friendly and helpful , wonderful fruit and really good coffee for breakfast. Loved meeting Digby and Bailey too, with added bonus of a garden and paddock wander, new chicks and bonkers Doug.
Highly recommend staying at this beautiful semi-rural spot. Digby and Bailey (dogs) made our trip super homely - and the hosts are very generous with details like gum boots for exploring, books, and breakfast food.
Beautiful countryside retreat. Great hosts. Our property greeters Bailey and Digby just the best. Bed super comfy, cottage had everything you needed . No sharing of facilities, self contained with beautiful free range eggs available. Hosts super welcoming. Sit outside and watch the stars. We will be back.
Being an animal lover the pets were a wonderful addition to this property. Owner and pets could not have been more welcoming. The cottage is very well appointed with everything you might want and more. A very short drive from Christchurch but it feels like you've gone miles into the country - getting away from everything almost on your back door if you're a Christchurch person, and a wonderful break from the city if you're a visitor to Christchurch
Great place, great people, great pair of dogs....hope you like dogs they are very friendly, great location and happy to help, all round a fantastic stay
The country cottage was perfect .The hosts were very nice people the cotttage was greatly appointed with tasteful "country feel "decor.was well appointed with everything required tasty breakfast supplied with homemade preserves and jam.Our dog loved it too
Wonderful rural setting. Peaceful and relaxing. Beautiful accommodation. Clean and very well presented. Highly recommended. Fantastic that pets are allowed to join us.
Max and Steve made myself and dog, Blitz very welcome. Spacious rooms, comfy bed, fabulous all you could eat breakfast.
Resident farm animals very interesting.
Dogs are friendly. Thank you Max and Steve!
A very nice cottage, very friendly hosts and a great place to stay with your dog. Cottage is very well equipped, warm and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was provided with home prepared fruit, cereals and spreads for toast. Would definitely come again.
We were in the house moving trip back to Christchurch and found this lovely accommodation that welcome not only my husband and I, but also our fur baby.
We considered our stay as little treat as the property is located in quiet farming area. Overall, this property was fulfilling our needs all aspects: comfortable bedding, complete supply from fresh milk, yogurt for breakfast and we loved the chic-modern cottage setup. Max and Steve were good host. I personally enjoyed their playful dogs as well: Digby and Bailey.
Highly recommended option for those who prefer quiet ambiance with plenty of space to wander around.
Struggling with the internet and TV access, but overall we really enjoyed our stay.
Thanks Max and Steve for your hospitality.
