Country Cottage Delight in the Hurunui. (Spotswood/Cheviot)

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely beautiful stay. The gardens were immaculate, the cottage was spotless, and it had everything we could possibly have needed. Lesley had even turned the heat pump and electric blanket on before we arrived, so the whole place was wonderfully warm and cosy when we walked in — such a thoughtful touch.Communication was exceptionally quick, easy and friendly from beginning to end. We also really appreciated how genuinely welcome our dog was. She had a beautiful time exploring and relaxing with us, which made the stay even more special.A gorgeous, peaceful place that has clearly been cared for with a great deal of thought. We would very happily stay again!"

Cottage within the magical gardens of Flaxmere

Cottage within the magical gardens of Flaxmere

10/10 Excellent
"This is a magical spot in Penny's incredible gardens! Even on soggy winter days, we enjoyed wandering the property, and the fire kept us toasty warm in the cottage. Our family enjoyed the thoughtful touches, tea/coffee and basics for cooking (oil, condiments). We loved having so much space to stretch out, and the comfy beds. The shower was unfortunately a piddle, extremely unsatisfying and took ages ages to rinse off. The place could have used a bit more of a thorough clean (especially bathroom and the drawers/floors in the bedrooms), but overall, it was fantastic value, warm and inviting, and a peaceful escape. We enjoyed talking to Penny, and reading about the history of the property. Hopefully we'll be back!"
