great escape for a few days
The cottage was lovely, clean and spacious with plenty of crockery and cutlery. The beds were all comfy with good linen, the garden was spectacular despite the very wet and somewhat cold weather, but the fire made up for that.

Sports event
We often travel as a small group to sports events here and internationally, this was about 25 minutes from our venue and a pleasant commute, lovely setting, very well cared for property. Wifi and shower could do with modernising.

Not impressed with the water pressure. After been out & about all day it would've been good to be able to have a decent shower. Not been able to get phone reception was not good.

Peaceful Rural Stay
Older farmhouse with a beautiful garden with lots of character. Peaceful farm setting but close to Feilding. Great wood burning fire to keep us warm and a well equipped kitchen. Great place to get away from it all as the internet is patchy. Comfy beds. Water pressure is low, as expected for an old rural house. Malcolm and Anna are great hosts.

Country stay
Malcolm and Anna were lovely welcoming hosts. The fire had been lit and the cottage soon warmed up. The facilities were good and while out in the county it was not far from Fielding. Certainly need a car. We had an event to attend in the area and it was really ideal. Would stay again

Superb again
Our return visit to this property confirmed all of our suspicions - both the hosts and the accommodation are simply superb. The hosts are remarkably friendly and thoughtful and the house is a real gem. A wonderful time capsule in the beautiful and peaceful part of the Manawatu region. We cannot recommend this more highly.

This is a wonderful time capsule which captures a nineteen fifties vibe so well. The situation in the rural countryside with the spring blossom at its peak was idyllic. Very comfortable accommodation and friendly helpful hosts.
