The hosts were very kind and helpful, and I had such a comfortable stay. The air con, very comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen and outdoor table for eating/ coffee in the am were the highlights.
This place is great! Clean, private, with a spa and loads of space. Very comfortable bed and lovely treats on arrival. Friendly hosts and beautiful farm like setting. Highly recommend.
This accommodation is everything you could want. It has great decor, friendly hosts, plenty of space, beautiful surroundings and is super handy to town. It has multiple options for sitting out, a spa and a country feel, and Diana fills the place with treats and breakfast supplies. I will definitely be back!
This is an exceptional place. The home is located next to a home which has land. The owners Dianne and Andrew are wonderful people and made our visit very special. The place itself is very comfortable and filled with everything you need for a relaxing stay in a pleasant country like surrounding.
This was a super find. Such a comfortable and spacious unit, very friendly and accommodating hosts and a super, quiet location. Homemade scones on arrival were a real treat, along with all the extra goodies provided. Will definitely book here again when next in Gisborne.
Excellent introduction by owners and delightful homemade scones, butter and jam, and other goddies provided, including a bottle of local wine!
Extremely well appointed, comfortable, spacious, TV, Sky, and WiFi provided, and an outside spa pool as well.
Only there 2 nights but very enjoyable and only 10 mins from town.
Massive thanks to Dianna and Andrew for welcoming us to their beautiful property. It was wonderful to chat to them as well as to enjoy the lovely cottage and grounds. Highly recommended !
Many thanks to Dianna and Andrew for the warm welcome to their beautiful property. We very much enjoyed chatting with them and spending time in the lovely cottage and surrounding grounds
We had great stay at Dianna and Andrew’s cottage.
The cottage is really comfortable. There is home baked scone, chocolate, cheese, wine, nest cafe capsules, one full bottle of milk, eggs from their hens, washing powder, spa bath, lazy-boy, comfortable bed, beautiful environment, birds, dogs, ships….
When Dianne knew we would go to the local market before we head back to Auckland, she drew a lovely map, and she phoned the local wine maker for us to find out whether he will be in the market.
We strongly recommend their nice and comfortable cottage.
We loved our 5 days staying here, a warm welcome from hosts and pets greeted us on arrival. The hosts went above and beyond with the many thoughtful extras provided. We immediately felt at home. A sense of the country in a farm cottage, a few minutes drive from town. Would def recommend as an ideal place to stay for a couple. Recommend staying several days to enjoy all the unique Gisborne tourism opportunities. Railbikes, Eagle/Manta Ray feeding, Night Sky Viewing, amazing opportunities not found elsewhere.
This little cottage was just a dream. It's surrounded by so many plants that Diane and Andrew planted when they first moved there. When we arrived they asked if we would like any suggestions of where to go and showed us around the property so we wouldn't be lost. We were also greeted with homemade scones, preserves, a bottle of wine and all these other great treats that made us feel right at home.
It was, unfortunately raining for a large portion of our trip, but we didn't mind spending time in the cottage and enjoying the hot tub that was there. I had some great conversations with Diane and Andrew and they were just so kind and friendly.
We hope their place will be available the next time we go to Gisborne as it truly was such a joy to stay there!
Diana and Andrew were awesome. Very accommodating.
Nestled amongst gardens and established trees that encouraged the native bird life. Quiet, relaxing and a simple pleasure to relax in.
Dianna and Andrew are lovely hosts. The cottage was spacious and very comfortable and beautifully presented. Lovely peaceful settling with home cooked treats and fresh farm eggs. Spa each night was a real treat. Just a 5 mintue drive into Town but you felt like you were out in the country. Highly recommend.
A very delightful stay with pleasant surprises! The excellent and generous breakfasts provided over the two days of our stay (including the cheese, fresh eggs, scones, jam and cream) were really unexpected.
Laundry facilities were a real bonus!
Spacious property and owners amazing to deal with. Well equipped and had undercover parking which was a bonus as well. Cell phone coverage patchy so had to go down the road . Lovely area to walk and bike. Close to town. Will stay there again
We had a wonderful four nights. Everything was perfect, we enjoyed being in such a beautiful spot in such a gorgeous garden. Dianna and Andrew were very welcoming and great to have a chat with. Super comfy bed and we enjoyed the hot tub. The home baking was a real treat. Would stay again!
We enjoyed our stay with Andrew and Dianna so much, they were the perfect hosted plus some, we couldn’t have had a better experience. The setting of the property is tranquil, with every amenity available it is a home away from home.
