Relaxing weekend away
We wanted a quiet weekend away and that’s just what we got. The weather wasn’t so good so didn’t do much but the wee house and facilities were all that we needed. The 3 of us all had good walk to the gate and back with our dog getting into the stream, he was happy to have the space to roam free

Rural privacy and dog welcome
Lots of space around this rural home to get away from it all with our small dog. Well equipped. I loved the big claw-foot bath for an evening soak. We also had a fun time getting lost in the hedge maze! Glad the weather was relatively mild for July.

A Quiet Haven
We loved our week here. The house is lovely and has everything you need plus more. It is warm and cosy and lends itself to red wine and a good book. The only sounds are animals and bird life, just what was needed. Thank you both for a great holiday, we will be back.

Rural bliss
Anne and Mike are the loveliest hosts and this is the most peaceful country setting -perfect for holidaying with a dog: a tidy, comfortable and well-equipped farm-house set in a large, fenced paddock...... a tree-lined drive to enjoy wandering along as you walk to feed the eels in the stream....a wonderful rustic gallery holding Anne's incredible artworks.....an easy drive to Motueka and Kaiteriteri..and huge starry night skies to enjoy. We had a fantastic holiday and Anne and Mike were even kind enough to give us beautiful fresh vegies from their garden. Thanks so much and we look forward to returning soon!!

Peaceful Farm Setting
We had a relaxing getaway, thank you Mike & Anne. Comfy bach vibe with plenty of space. Probably best suited to stays outside the winter months, although there were plenty of heaters and lovely warm duvets.

Wonderful stay in the countryside
We and the dogs were tired after several days on the road. We had a relaxing stay with plenty of room, perfect with the fully fenced section so the dogs could run around free. Bonus with washing machine to wash away the travel dirt. Many thanks Mike and Anne. We'll be back.

Special spot!
Was such a lovely holiday, we had everything we needed and enjoyed the birdsong and the fresh air! Loved seeing the cows and eels - especially the kids and the maze was great fun! In a great place to explore Golden Bay or just relax at the house. It is a special spot - thanks Anne and Mike.

Relaxing Farmstay for Family with a dog
I wanted a holiday that could offer our children the freedom to explore and our family pomeranian to be part of that. This property was all of that and above. Rural settings on a beautiful country property was peaceful and the property owners were truly the best. I would throughly recommend. We enjoyed everything from the DVD selection, to roasting marshmallows on the BBQ, to feeding the eels and completing the hedge maze on the property. Thanks once again for making amazing memories...would highly recommend and will definitely be back.
