Cosy Country Cottage

Loved the country atmosphere, peaceful and quiet. Cottage had all the mod cons. Very roomy with two bedrooms and bathroom laundry, we made use of. Easy access to shops and restaurants, and of course the starry nights topped it off. Thanks Sue for letting us stay there….

NZ Dairy Flats

On day of check in we received an email asking what time we would arrive and received no reply as to the address to find the exact location for the accommodation. By deduction and luck we drove around and around until by chance we found it. Host was very good in supplying iron and ironing board on request. Had to buy laundry detergent and no dryer.
