Lovely off the beaten track spot to stay while visiting Farewell Spit. Cute little cottage with everything you need for a night or two stop! The bathroom amenities are basic but do the trick for sure.There is a little stream in the garden, nature surrounds the cottage as well as other accommodation spaces on the property but it still felt very private. Heather the host was very welcoming and friendly. She was available if needed and quick to respond.

Several good things :- the cosy style of the cottage, - the bedrooms on highs,- no noise, the incredible 'calm',- every thing we needed was provided !- the kindness of the staff.

This is a wonderful cottage. The garden is lovely and has a creek running through it. ideal if you want a base for exploring Kahurangi National Park and Farewell Spit, but would also be a great place to spend some time relaxing in the garden.

Beautiful property located an easy drive away from Wharariki Beach and Farewell Spit. It had everything we needed, including a bit of internet (enough to check a few work emails and stay in touch with family). We really enjoyed the lofts and the view of the stars at night. The bush walk was a fun adventure.
