Best stay of our trip
This property was by far the best place we stayed in our trip to New Zealand!
As soon as we walked in we fell in love with everything about it. It is very well appointed. We had planned to eat out but decided to get takeout so we could eat in the room.
Thanks for the home made buns and bread!
Nice property, welcomed with afternoon tea. Good location and quiet area. Beds comfortable. Suitable more for a couple than 3 adults.

Absolutely gorgeous place to stay. Even better than the photos. We loved the complimentary baked treats that the host made - the tan slice was amazing! Lovely host who gave great recommendations for dinner at a great cafe in Castlecliff. Thanks for having us. Megan

Cute cottage with everything you need
Host was lovely, and thoughtful home baking awaited us! Perfect little getaway. Would not recommend for little kids due to unsafe mezzanine sleeping… our 7 and 9 Y ended up on the couch.

Better than it looks in the pictures !
Litza is a great host, lovely cottage, and a nice treat.
Definitely recommend.
We had a nice stay at the cost cottage. The host left us nice little snacks and some fruit. The bed was very soft which took some getting used to, but was comfortable

Fantastic couple of nights away. This little cottage is so cute and cosy and the host is warm and welcoming. The decor and feel of the place was very welcoming - we loved it! All the quirky accessories made it an interesting haven for a break away - absolutely recommend!
