About this cottage rental

This cottage is ideal for those in the area for the night for an event and looking for somewhere to stay, but would make a great long weekend escape too. With plenty of activities in the area, it is also a suitable holiday destination.

The cottage was built in the 19th century as the Cookhouse, so was home to the person who cooked for all those who lived and worked on the farm. It is set in a garden with a variety of fruit trees, and if you visit in spring the verandah will be draped with the most magnificent wisteria.

The cottage is spacious with a huge kitchen, a Kent fire and an open fire.

We are located less than 15 minutes from Feilding, about 10 minutes from Bulls, and about 25 minutes from Palmerston North. Manfeild in Feilding is only around 15 kilometres away. Ideal location for those going to the Central Districts Field Days.

There is a golf course about 6 kilometres away. Both Bulls and Sanson offer fantastic antique shops and cafes and are within a 5 - 10 minute drive. Mt Lees Reserve is close by and has a 1-2 km well-maintained track through native bush.

Special conditions:

1.There is a haha at the front of the house that may not be suitable for children.
2. We have a policy of minimum 3 night stays across public holidays.
3. We are not currently taking bookings more than 3 months in advance.

Extras: Linen (included); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave;

Lovely idyllic setting. Perfect spot to chill out, but also not far to head into Feilding or Palmy.
