Book a Hawarden Cottage

"We loved the cosy nature of our room, comfy bed, free continental breakfast in the morning, and the fact we could bring our dog with us. Brew Moon Brewing Co is just a few steps down the road, makes to-die-for pizza and boutique beer, and is also dog-friendly, what more could we ask for!"

"Great location near the beach and lovely staff!"

"This tiny house was perfect for our short stay on a long trip from Nelson to MT Cook. The beach, just a short walk down the path, was incredible. The house had a comfortable bed and bathroom, and the sound of waves lulled us to sleep."

"Beautiful surroundings, lovely home with everything you needed for a comfortable stay."

"Simple motel, clean good rooms in a quiet location but perfect for us to break our journey"

"Very clean and modern cottage amongst the vines. The hot tub was a real plus and it was great to relax and look at the mountain scenery at night."

"We had a beautiful weekend at Russell’s Cabins. It’s a great place to stay to explore the area. The cabins are stunning, minimalist and unique. "

"The property was spacious, comfortable, super clean and well equiped. The communication with the host was brilliant. Would definitely recommend!"

"We loved the wee cottage. Not too far to travel from Christchurch, yet in easy distance of Amberley if you had forgotten anything. Lovely and clean. All linen supplied and we were grateful to be able to walk out and leave without having to clean. Very, very quiet environs, right next to the campground and two minutes walk to the beach and forest trails. It had everything you needed - heat pump, new tv with all the apps, good hot water, great parking, and a fabulous private wee backyard - shame it rained, but that made us relax a bit more! We will definitely be back and recommend to anyone who likes quaint and cozy over new and flashy. Friends who were staying at the campground were impressed too."
