Thank you. Cleanliness and comfortable beds is a high priority for our guests. Close to Cambridge township but set in a quiet rural location.
Absolutely recommend Pincots Cottage and host Sue.Sue's booking confirmations and communications were prompt and clear. The 3-brm house was perfect for our group. Magic setting with peaceful farm and rolling hills outlook, spacious rooms and modern facilities. Super close to Lake Karapiro and Domain/cafe. The home-made condiment treats were a delicious bonus. Will definitely consider staying again when future events are held in Karapiro. Many thanks Sue.

Thank you Fiona.
Full equipped kitchen means you can eat in or select one of the wonderful restaurants/cafes to eat out in Cambridge.
Comfortable beds are so important for a relaxing stay, as is peace and quiet. No road noise - just country side views.
Our group of 14 had a wonderful relaxing week at Jasmina Estate. The location in Seminyak was great - easy access to Bintang Supermarket, shops, cafes and restaurants. The staff were all friendly, accessible and accommodated all of our wishes. We would highly recommend a stay in this villa.
We had a hectic weekend but this accommodation was a brilliant escape from everything. Such thoughtful touches to the property and well thought out necessities.
