RachelNew ZealandA peaceful country cottage in an idyllic setting with beautiful stylish interiors and plenty of space.
Beautifully furnished and idyllic setting. Very comfortable with 2 bathrooms and bedrooms and even a dressing room!
The high chairs at the table were stylish but weren’t so comfortable or easy for smaller kids to use.
Bang ShengNew ZealandWe love to see the cows, lambs and horse in the farm. Also there is an amazing sea view from the deck. We like the swing chair outside it feels very comfortable.
The dryer needs a bit of cleaning.

Highly recommended. My family is looking forward to come back for this…
