Mar 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for a quiet getaway Simple, functional space in a quiet reserved farming area. The cottage had everything we needed, and it was just a short drive to Rangiora. David brought us fresh-baked bread, which was fantastic. We ran into some unexpected health issues and David was extraordinarily kind and helpful. ##### Todd K. Stayed 13 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Prem J. Jun 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet country spot It was a peaceful rural place, perhaps not luxurious but quite comfortable, with all essentials. It may be a bit small for more than 2 adults but for 2 it was fine. The heat pump made it warm and there were electric blankets (a huge bonus for me). We had wanted to stay in Rangiora and this was about 15 minutes away. Breakfast was cereals, juice and a loaf of fresh bread. with butter and jams/marmalade, with coffee, tea and hot chocolate available. We enjoyed sitting out in the sun and looking at the alpacas. ##### Prem J. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jon b. Feb 10, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 👍 Was just how it was advertised ##### Jon b.
