About this cottage rental
Come and stay in our Historic Stables. Located at the back of Talisman Nursery in a tranquil setting amongst mature trees.
Built, in the early 1920's with locally made bricks. It was used to house draught horses and equipment, as part of the Mangahao – Haywards power reticulation scheme. The Stables were converted into a beautiful cottage during the late 1980’s with the renovation work being done by a conservation architect.
The Stables sleep up to 3 adults, but is ideal as a nice cosy retreat for a couple or a solo get away. Spend a weekend relaxing and re-energising in our self catering Stables.

Really enjoyed the seclusion this property offered, while still being in close proximity to amenities. Fantastically converted building. Comfortable, well situated and all the comforts of home provided.

This was the cutest accomodation. It was comfortable and so full of character. We had everything we needed and the surroundings were so peaceful. I just loved staying here. I hope we can return and stay longer.

The Stables is a beautiful old brick building that has been brilliantly converted into a bach. The interior has lots of natural wood and homely atmosphere that makes it a great place to relax in, even in bad weather... Great kitchen facilities and comfy beds. Very helpful host as well.
