Quiet rural beauty (to visit local area)

A peaceful, rustic environment, ideal as a base to visit locations of Tasman, Moutere, Mapua, Motueka, Nelson etc. A comfy, roomy home, designed to enjoy sun, good kitchen facilities, beautiful views.

Relaxing Family Getaway

This is an amazing place to stay with friendly hosts. Our kids were happy to run and experience the maze that has been made on the property. Good Wifi and excellent communication before arriving made us feel relaxed and at ease. If you are looking for a genuinely relaxing quiet getaway then look no further

Beautiful "out of the way" quiet spot!

Old cottage in a paddock, a bit tired, but very comfortable with everything you would need. Lovely owners. Loved the area. Great we could have our dogs with us. Would stay again.

Quiet location and plenty of room to spread about in.

Quiet location and plenty of room to spread about in. Interesting art on the walls added to character. A bit further from Motueka than had envisaged, but central to the Golden Bay, Tasman, Nelson localities.

Special spot!

Was such a lovely holiday, we had everything we needed and enjoyed the birdsong and the fresh air! Loved seeing the cows and eels - especially the kids and the maze was great fun! In a great place to explore Golden Bay or just relax at the house. It is a special spot - thanks Anne and Mike.

Peaceful Farm Setting

We had a relaxing getaway, thank you Mike & Anne. Comfy bach vibe with plenty of space. Probably best suited to stays outside the winter months, although there were plenty of heaters and lovely warm duvets.

Relaxing weekend away

We wanted a quiet weekend away and that’s just what we got. The weather wasn’t so good so didn’t do much but the wee house and facilities were all that we needed. The 3 of us all had good walk to the gate and back with our dog getting into the stream, he was happy to have the space to roam free

A Quiet Haven

We loved our week here. The house is lovely and has everything you need plus more. It is warm and cosy and lends itself to red wine and a good book. The only sounds are animals and bird life, just what was needed. Thank you both for a great holiday, we will be back.

Wonderful stay in the countryside

We and the dogs were tired after several days on the road. We had a relaxing stay with plenty of room, perfect with the fully fenced section so the dogs could run around free. Bonus with washing machine to wash away the travel dirt. Many thanks Mike and Anne. We'll be back.

Rural privacy and dog welcome

Lots of space around this rural home to get away from it all with our small dog. Well equipped. I loved the big claw-foot bath for an evening soak. We also had a fun time getting lost in the hedge maze! Glad the weather was relatively mild for July.

Rural bliss

Anne and Mike are the loveliest hosts and this is the most peaceful country setting -perfect for holidaying with a dog: a tidy, comfortable and well-equipped farm-house set in a large, fenced paddock...... a tree-lined drive to enjoy wandering along as you walk to feed the eels in the stream....a wonderful rustic gallery holding Anne's incredible artworks.....an easy drive to Motueka and Kaiteriteri..and huge starry night skies to enjoy. We had a fantastic holiday and Anne and Mike were even kind enough to give us beautiful fresh vegies from their garden. Thanks so much and we look forward to returning soon!!

Paradise

This is a wonderful cottage for either a couple or family. So charming and quaint. We enjoyed the outstanding views from all angles, had several nice country walks, played with their dog Zoe and was honored to be invited into Ann's art studio! Mike inspired us to dust off our bikes when we get home! Thank you for a perfect retreat!
