A peaceful little paradise

This was such a perfect spot to come and relax in. The view is spectacular, and just so quiet. The cottage had all that we needed. The shower is a good powerful one and our bed was so comfy. We'll be back when next down this way ❤️

A peaceful getaway

My husband and I had an amazing time. The house was nice and warm and the shower was fantastic. The bed wasn't very comfortable for us but that is personal preference. We loved a visits from Buddy too.Best part is that it was out of town, close to the beach and town. Easy to navigate to other places from so really happy we stayed.

Pastoral Idyll

Set in the rolling country just south of Oamaru, this north facing cottage has a wide panoramic vista. It is handy to both Oamaru and Kakanui. It was is easily heated for those cooler winter days. Excellent for a stress free stay.

Lovely property, perfect space for us and our gear. The kitchen was well stocked to our surprise right Dow to fresh eggs for our breakfast. Loved being in a rural setting and still only 10 minutes from the middle of Oamaru. Definitely recommend this property. Our host were on site but never intrusive.

Wonderful Sunset Cottage

We had a beautiful and peaceful stay in the cottage, which is close enough to town to be easy to get to but in lovely farmland which gives a sense of space. The amenities were great. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Very comfy beds and all you could want in the kitchen. Having a laundry was terrific. Andrea couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful and Buddy the dog is a gem. I highly recommend this lovely cottage.
