Classic Charming Cottage in Peel Forrest! Family & Pet friendly.

A perfect property for families that love the outdoors. Surrounded by the beautiful protected Peel Forest .
A modest but comfortable 1960s 2 bedroom genuine kiwi batch. Charmingly appointed, nice big verandah. Wake up to the chorus of native bird song.
A lovely log fire to keep you warm in winter. A beautiful place to unwind and enjoy nature at its best. An amazing trail right opposite the cottage. Pets welcome. Some cell phones will not work from the cottage but you will get reception if you walk/drive back towards the township. Enjoy the ambience of the local cafe.
The Kowhai river is close by. You can enjoy rafting on the Rangitata, bird watching, fishing, swimming and all outdoor pursuits close by. Geraldine only 20 mins away. Enjoy the Tui, Wood pigeons and Bellbirds whilst having a drink on the covered verandah. The serenity is amazing!
We also ask you to clean and do the dishes before you leave . Thank you.

Great Kiwi Bach
The property was quaint, clean and cosy (when the fire was on). The owner was very easy to communicate with. The house sits among the trees and the sound of the birds is lovely, however, this does make the cottage quite cold and dark. I imagine it is glorious in the warmer weather. Thank you Kris for being a great host.

Great to get away from it all...
A real kiwi bach, lovely log fire, birdsong all around and access to great walking tracks with waterfalls and native NZ forest. We enjoyed our stay here with walks, biking, reading, playing board games, drinking coffee by the fire and eating hot x buns over easter. Be aware the fridge is a small bar fridge only.

A perfect batch in the bush
We had a wonderful time in this batch. Its located in the bush, opposite amazing tracks. The batch had everything we needed, we took miss 9 and mr 12, and they loved it. Communication was easy, and batch was spotless. Great memories made from this break. Many thanks kris.

Rustic cottage
Loved the old style of the cottage and the log burner. It was pretty awesome with the nature birds and bush, waking up to the birds singing don’t get that in the city. Loved hearing the rain on the roof, and comfortable spring beds, definitely don’t see them around much oh and drinking proper water without the disgusting taste like in Chch. Would love to go back some day. 😊

Very nice place to stay
We found the house very comfortable and warm with having the wood burner. Beds were good and a useful kitchen. There was a good stock of wood for the fire.
