Enjoy the luxury of soaking in a hot bath on the covered deck, whatever the weather. Perfect for couples wanting to get away from it all, or small families. You can be completely private or wander round the working walnut farm with its extensive gardens and menagerie. Please note that while cottage has a kitchenette, there is also a firepit and BBQ outside. In keeping with the vintage theme, the cottage has a well stocked library, plenty of board games and DVDs (sorry no wifi or TV reception). While we may not have all the mod cons but actually, that's what our guests prefer! It’s a great place to dial things back and enjoy a slower pace of life with the farms seasonal variety. The cottage has private drive access and use of it's own orchard block, complete with hammock swinging in the shade of walnut trees. Pets are welcome, please note along with our stock we also have farm dogs. The dogs are usually working with us and are locked up at night but they will greet you when you arrive (and possibly when using the BBQ). ## Property amenities ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchenette - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 10% of profits reinvested in community and sustainability - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Comprehensive recycling policy - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Garden - Grey water recycling system - Humane treatment of captive wild animals - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38030000/38023300/38023262/82b67a57.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Historic summer house by the sea Castlecliff - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space 8.8 Excellent 105 reviews CA $97 CA $180 total includes taxes & fees Oct 13 - Oct 14 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-13&endDate=2025-10-14&selected=38023262&PinnedHotelID=38023262&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114710000/114703600/114703574/f0738d11.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tui's Retreat - Peaceful, Private, and Close to Town Westmere - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 8 reviews CA $101 CA $171 total includes taxes & fees Oct 5 - Oct 6 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-05&endDate=2025-10-06&selected=114703574&PinnedHotelID=114703574&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102340000/102334000/102333910/b78ab223.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy guest sleep out with sauna on dairy farm Pakaraka - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.8 Exceptional 10 reviews CA $93 CA $133 total includes taxes & fees Oct 7 - Oct 8 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-07&endDate=2025-10-08&selected=102333910&PinnedHotelID=102333910&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/39000000/38080000/38079100/38079097/031e7204.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kokako Lodge Wanganui Gonville - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Microwave 9.6 Exceptional 39 reviews CA $134 CA $250 total includes taxes & fees Oct 9 - Oct 10 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=38079097&PinnedHotelID=38079097&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114860000/114860000/114859957/5ebdf474.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tiny living, Big escape!
