Summary: This place was amazing! We had been quite busy travelling around and seeing the sights of NZ and really needed a little time to recharge and relax and this was the perfect place to do it! Such a pretty cottage with everything we needed. Loved sitting outside listening to the birds and enjoying the seclusion. Great place and the host was so helpful and considerate. Would heartily recommend.

Summary: Highly recommend this accommodation if you are seeking a private, secluded place to stay but within easy, short travel to the city (any of Wgtn, Lower Hutt or Porirua). The deck area is fantastic - a view of the forest, great couches and the hot tub. We will definitely book again.

Summary: An amazing location where you get the proper feeling of being out on a picturesque farmland overlooking the mountains while still being a short drive to the city for if you want the city feels again. Hosts were amazing, leaving us mostly to ourselves but being available if we needed and a great conversation which is exactly what I like in a stay. Don't let the eco side put you off either if you're hesitant about that side, I'm a full-blown city boy and there wasn't anything I couldn't get my head around and it's a great example of how things can be done with barely a noticeable difference in your day to day life. Highly recommend staying here for anyone looking to get away from the city but may also want to pop back in on occasion.

Summary: I really enjoyed my two night stay. The little cottage and large deck were perfect for a mid week getaway for some peace and quiet. Loved the fruit trees and the gaggle of geese that visited each afternoon.

Summary: A well thought out cute and quirky cottage with everything you need today unplug and relax. The hot tub is divine, and the big comfy outdoor couch is the perfect spot to enjoy a wine or a coffee and watch the birds. We loved it!!!

Summary: So glad to have had this last minute chance for a break. A great way to start the new year in peace and comfort. Very laid back. We enjoyed the hosts’ hospitality with delicious wine and jam and many other thoughtful details. Being able to check out late meant a relaxed last morning too. This will be a great place to stay for future work in Wellington too as it’s very convenient for both Porirua and the Hutt. Thanks very much!
