Had a lovely time in clean, private cottage, with owners nearby - kindly left lovely cake and brought a fan when it was hot. Hot tub lovely. Garden is enclosed and so v safe for dogs/children. Kitchen possibly could have done with more implements but this is a small thing . Think best to mention that if four people staying, two are on sofa bed in communal area so if couple 1 go to loo in the night have to enter this area. Also difficulty getting directions (not owner's fault, but link on initial email after paying balance had 'expired' - would be helpful if homeaway resolved this). Many thanks

Many Thanks to Rob and Corin for making our stay really good. The Lodge was very clean and every thing was perfect. The kids loved the friendly chickens. 5 stars from us. (p.s the cake that was given to us was yum) .

Lovely place - Get the bad bits out of the way 1st -- Well nothing really to comment on that will effect your stay in the slightest but if you wanted to be ultra critical , A little tired in places - minor things like a knob missing on a drawer and a worn cover on the tub and such like, Only one room for improvement - a dressing table would be a benefit !. Now the good bits - Fantastic place - any --- very minor negatives were by far outshone by the charm of the Lodge [ We were in the older of the 2 Lodges and will only wish to return to this one ] . Little Personal touches like fresh flowers in the rooms and well thought out Gardens make it again stand out from the crowd. Location - top marks Peace, Tranquil surroundings - Top marks Lodge - windows,Privacy,Decor,Layout, - Top Marks Cori - Lovely, She is there when needed - Lovely. Summary - We have been to lodges all over the country and out of them all - This is the one ! Thank you for a lovely stay Cori and look forward to seeing you soon in the future.

The owners pay a great deal of attention to the property fittings and furnishings to make the stay a memorable and enjoyable one, fresh flowers just being 1 example.

Beautiful setting, great hosts and a lovely lodge. Perfect place to get away from it all for a few days. Felt like you were all on your own but only a short drive to wellington. Look forward to coming back, next time I need to recharge my batteries.
