Great little place to stay and explore the West Coast. We had a pleasant stay at The Teapot Cottage with all its 50's memorabilia.

Friendly host and super helpful. The cottage is wonderful. Set in a different time period but functions perfectly. The grounds are also very nice and well maintained. Loved the Wekas and the cows next door.

Teapot cottage

A memorable place to stay, a great base for exploring the outdoors, with helpful and friendly hosts. The kids loved having a bath under the stars, and the cottage was well equipped with everything we needed.

Teapot Cottage was a great place to stay. It fitted our adult family of five comfortably and provided us a unique experience with a record player and classic board games and books for entertainment. The host Dan showed us over his property and pointed us in the right direction for river walks nearby. We were sorry to only be there for the one night.

Fantastic Winter weekend stay!

Great cottage and memories made! Exactly as described - and has got our teens out of their comfort zones. Was great to get them to experience an old skool way of living! Highlight was the hot springs down the road. Really appreciated the tour of the property and have recommended the cottage to friends already.
