Peaceful, lovely home, great location
Our stay was incredible.lovely home with everything we could need. Wonderful communication with the host and the best spot. 1 min walk to the most incredible estuary and beach. Surrounded by bush and bird song but so close to Collingwood for supplies :) will be back again!

magical milnethorpe
A super comfortable house with space to spare. Quiet, so close to the sand and sea. Great for small dogs to run about safely. Had everything we needed to cook meals, enjoy eating al fresco and go kayaking if you like. BBQ also. Would definitely go again.

Relaxing house with all you need for a family
Five of us stayed 2 nights at this lovely home to celebrate an early Christmas together. The house was clean and tidy when we arrived. The lock box took a while to find but we found it. The bush walks around the area were wonderful and the lagoon at high tide was beautiful to swim in. The mosquito were very keen to come inside so we had to shut the doors and use the aircon. This worked well and kept us comfortable. Mosquito screens would be useful at this property. It was great that there was fly spray at the house as we had not brought any. If I went again I would take citronella candles so we could enjoy the outdoor sitting area with out the bugs. The kitchen was a dream to cook in and the 6 setting table was a comfortable size. We enjoyed the comfortable couches. There were great games to play and a pack of cards. The two double beds were very comfortable. We all slept well. Thank you for letting us bring our 2 old dogs they enjoyed the walks and were both happy inside on their dog beds. We are super happy with our stay and only wished we could have stayed a week!

The house and its location made for the perfect getaway for our family. The beach is straight from a travel magazine, so beautiful, and the walking tracks of Milnthorpe Park provided hours of peaceful wandering.

A peaceful beautiful spot surrounded by bush and NZ birdlife with the sea a short walk away. Lovely to come back from walks and swims to a comfortable clean house with modern amenities all working and super showers.
