We enjoyed everything about this stay. The lovely rural setting and the stunning sunsets were really great. The cottage was ideal for two couples and highly recommended. Thank you Sandra and Shawn.

What an amazing find! It’s incredibly peaceful here with just the stars and the cows for company. We were so touched by the generosity of the little extras provided—small things like bath salts, coffee pods, and snack bags made such a difference. The cottage itself is contemporary, spotless, and wonderfully roomy. The large outdoor baths are the perfect size and depth; soaking with my book under the night sky was pure bliss. Sandra is a lovely, easygoing host who made communication a breeze. If you are debating between places, do yourself a huge favour and choose this one.

Paradise

It is a great place to unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is a peaceful and serene place for nature loving people. Sandra was prompt to answer any question I had. Definitely I will stay there again if I happen to travel that way.

Great short stay

We spent one night at Nibble Nook after doing the Hobbiton tour but we wish we would have stayed longer. The farm is beautiful and the house was cozy and had everything we needed! Sandra was an awesome host and on top of all of the communication. Next time we make the trip to New Zealand, we are definitely going to come back for longer than one night!

We had a wonderful stay. The property was immaculately clean, fresh, and exceptionally well appointed. Communication was excellent from the outset, and the property was easy to locate.A huge bonus was the two separate bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and toilet, which meant we each had our own space.The location was peaceful and tranquil—the perfect place to unwind and escape the pace of everyday life without having to travel too far. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.
