Book a Marlborough Cottage

"Property is tastefully and thoughtfully equipped. Within easy driving distance of Moutere pub and various wineries. And of course, Mapua and Motueka. We had a most enjoyable several nights' stay. Thanks to Colleen."

"Lovely big living area. The fire was essential as the weather was very cold. Great house for a family."

"Great place to stay thanks "

"We loved the ample space. The kitchen was our favourite room in the whole house. Walking distance to everything in Hanmer Springs. Loved the thermal pools. They are a must to do. "

"A lovely spot and a great venue"

"We were very late checking in because of a delayed ferry sailing but Hamish was so accommodating and helpful, we couldn't have asked for more. The location is peaceful with incredible views towards the sea and the mountains, and a beautiful night sky. Wish we could have stayed longer - we will go back. My only precaution is for people who have mobility issues as getting to the bedrooms involves climbing a ladder and the ceiling in the bedrooms is low. But it worked well for three mobile adults -...

"Wonderful property to stay at! House is immaculate and has everything you need for a wonderful stay including top notch communication. View was superb and definitely would stay again!"

"Great little spot. Warm and cosy with an awesome host"

"It was great to get away with our blind dog in a dog friendly property with a fabulous view. We so enjoyed waiting and watching for the ferry's and trains. We also loved Mills Bay Mussels and a few wineries. Stocked up on wine. Loved the natural nature of the area."

"Lovely place with easy access to the beach. Extremely quiet and dark, allowing for great stargazing. Plenty of room for our family to spread out. Friendly host who quickly explained everything and was available for questions via text. Would definitely return the next time we’re near Kaikoura. "

"The cottage is lovely, especially the exterior with views and flowers surrounding it. The interior is a bit odd with shower in one room, sink in another and the WC is actually accessed from the exterior so you have to go outside to enter it. Otherwise, the cottage is lovely and well equipped. The sunrise views are amazing and it is quiet and calm."

"Set in a very quiet back part of garden the unit was very comfortable and clean. The hosts were lovely and friendly and the unit had good kitchen capability with, kettle, toaster, microwave and full oven. Large fridge freezer and basic tea/coffee provisions.Perfect size for a couple and great we could have our dogs with us as great little off lead dog park 2min walk away. Would definitely stay again. "
