Clean, we'll stocked, comfortable and quiet. Excellent hosts.
Easy check in, nice coffee maker and good communication from the host.
The fridge may need to be replaced, the condenser is extremely loud and disturbed sleep resulting in me waking up and turning it off. The place would benefit from another heater, unfortunately the small one isn’t sufficient, maybe carpet instead of a hard floor would help as it’s also very cold. That would also help the bed, which slides around as soon as you go on it, taking away from it being relaxing.
Excellent location just out of Feilding. Rural location, very peaceful. Ample parking (we had a large transit van), clean and good facilities. Nice breakfast included.
Communication could have been better - arrived but hadn't received a welcome email so couldn't access the property. No-one answering at the main house, so rang and was told where the key was. First night got an email advising us of our departure requirements the next day (we were there 2 nights), and then the next night got another email (correct) for our departure. Also couldn't get the Nespresso milk section to work even though we followed the instructions and had used one before.
Lovely food in the fridge.
Bed
Excellent stay at this beautiful property! We had everything and more for a fabulous stay. Thank you so much
Cute guest house that had everything we needed. The location was great and so quiet. Fantastic hosts that sorted out an issue we had on the first night as soon as they could. Would stay again
Fresh, bright and v clean. Nice decor and very friendly host. Nice supply of breakfast things. We liked being in the countryside and away from state highways
Nothing
Solo traveller - absolutely gorgeous, the photos and description were perfect. Comfortable bed, the continental breakfast offerings superb. Clean without being unwelcoming or sterile. Sadly I wasn't there much to enjoy it all.
Fantastic country side surrounding ..the cottage is awesome.. Strongly recommend to anyone who is looking for a place in this region. Don't hesitate book it
Having to leave this lovely place
The guesthouse was adorable. Had everything we needed. Tastefully decorated and clean and tidy. Very welcoming and Steph the host was absolutely lovely.
There was nothing I didn't like.
Clean bright welcoming. Smelt fresh. Beautiful towels, bedding, toilet paper, dishcloths and delicious continental breakfast provided.The owner came over to welcome us but was not intrusive.This peaceful location is a bit off the beaten track but worth travelling to.
Very hard to fault
The accommodation was super clean and tidy. We really liked that the windows were pushed closed for us. Our bed was so super comfy and the shower was amazing. Would definitely recommend to anyone travelling that way.
How close it was to the main house
Location was perfect for what we needed.
Nothing about the property, was just unfortunate that it was raining.
Ruime kamer, fijne badkamer. Alles wat we nodig hadden voor één nacht.
Clean and tidy place!
Everything so clean and friendly nice place to stay.
Nothing. Perfect place.
It's the 3rd time we've stayed here and the quality is always consistent. Spotlessly clean. Great shower, very comfortable bed, and ample selection and quantity of breakfast goodies.
Great instructions, super comfortable, lots of care and attention went into providing a few essentials
Absolutely beautiful and peaceful so lovely waking up to the sound of cows mooing
Loved everything
Great choices on offer- toast or cereal with yummy yoghurt
Nothing all great
Really appreciated the good quality groceries for breakfast and nice bed linen. It was a lovely quiet spot with birds singing close by.
Everything that was needed was there. Exceptionally clean and well presented. A really quiet and comfortable stay, and the host provided a wonderful array of breakfast goodies. Thankyou!
The guest house is a single room with a separate bathroom. The kitchenette is well supplied and has the basics except for an oven or stove top, only a microwave. The breakfast was a well stocked selection of cereals, bread & spreads, fruit, milk, tea and coffee - perfect for our needs. The bathroom was also well stocked even with little extras such as makeup remover - which I appreciated as I had left mine at home. The furnishings were all clean, well maintained and set up very nicely.
There was one window that had a sticky catch above the bed which made it hard to open and close. The fridge did rattle during the night but I'm certain this will be fixed as I mentioned it.
Location took us a bit of navigating but peaceful when we got there. Breakfast well provided for. Coffees & teas provided.
Elderly husband had difficulty getting out of unusually low bed although very comfortable. He found the wooden floor rather slippery.
We loved our stay. Such a lovely guest house, a lots of extra goodies left for us to enjoy - a fridge full of food (bread, fruit, cereal, jams, margarine, milk, juice...) and great products in the bathroom (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, moisturiser, makeup remover...)
Suited our needs perfectly as were visiting family in Halcombe. Very easy to locate and great communication re getting into the property.
Only downside for us was the height of the bed, much lower than we’re use to.
Cereals, a loaf of bread, butter, jams, apples, yoghurt, juice and fresh milk all left in the fridge for us.
Nothing!
This accommodation is superb, immaculately clean, quiet, very comfortable in every way. It is in a beautiful country area, quiet and peaceful with an easy drive to Feilding or Palmerston North. We especially loved the Jack & Jill outside table and chairs to relax in the evenings. Can't speak highly enough of the accommodation, the lovely host and the extra treats. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely nothing.
Restful and a great position for those travelling throughout the North island and want to see some of NZ off the beaten track.
Two little things. I couldn’t quite get the heating to work so it was a little chilly overnight. the fan in the bathroom wouldn’t turn off easily. It finally did when I tapped the switch a few times.
A range of items were supplied for breakfast in the room. Hosts accommodating when power was cut due to wind. Many extra touches were appreciated.
Its an annex in someone's yard, in the middle of nowhere. Friendly owners with two lovely dogs and a toddler, stocked fridge with lots of goodies that are included in the price.
Gorgeous accommodation Well equipped with everything you need plus more Generous supply of breakfast goodies Lovely and quiet Delightful hosts including two cute and friendly little dogs
The place was exactly what I needed. It was the best location, very friendly host, clean and comfortable. I would love to stay here in the future. I am traveling to this area often and will definitely book again.

Everything we needed! So cosy and clean and tidy.
Fridge slightly noisy
Location and friendly welcome.
Comfortable, quiet, relaxing venue. Lovely surroundings and just a 15 minute drive to town.
Apart from a particularly high step out of the shower that we had to be careful with, it's hard to fault this place.
This quest house is absolutely perfect. Comfortable and clean and has everything you need. Host is extremely nice. Will definitely stay again when in the area.
Nothing
Breakfast was great & location excellent for us.
2 comfortable chairs or a 2-seater sofa, would enhance the guesthouse.
Cute guesthouse. It Was clean and well presented. Had a comfy bed.
The Lady who ran it and welcomed us was so lovely and friendly, and the accommodation was absolutely lovely so warm and accommodating. One of the best things was if my wife and I just stood still all we could hear was birds and lambs. Not a city sound for miles. We had to leave early on our way up country but didn't want the owners to think it was for anything negative. My wife and I are planning to return just for the piece and QUIET. CAN NOT RATE THIS PLACE HIGHLY ENOUGH.
A higher bed, it was a little low, but that is the only thing I could say if I HAD TOO, BUT NOT I REAL ISSUE.
Beautifully clean and presented, warm and comfortable.
Really liked the location - super quiet and well away from everything. The guest house was just the right size - we were warm on quite a cold night. Very clean and cute kitchenette, and we were able to prep a meal and relax. Great shower.
Clean and equipped for breakfast and dinner
Nothing
A lovely place not far from Feilding. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, we had a great night's sleep in the comfortable bed, and the place was very quiet at night. Kitchen was well equipped. The lovely hosts made us feel.very welcome..
Nothing
needs microwave heating containers
Great place. Yummy fresh bread.
Lovely peaceful location
What’s fantastic little cottage. Perfect location well back from the main road in a secluded spot. Tranquil & peaceful. Steph (host) has everything you need set up in the cottage. Even down to some essentials in the fridge (bread, butter, milk, cereal packets, spreads, tea/coffee) - it’s perfect! It’s very well appointed, beautifully decorated., & exceptionally clean! She also provides a very thorough guide about the accommodation and the area - down to some recommendations for local eateries. We had a lovely time - even if it was just one night. Steph has done such an excellent job with the cottage. I’m just sorry we didn’t have a chance to stay longer. If we’re going to be back through the area again we’ll definitely book again!
Nothing!
Lovely place
Could have had some fruit with breakfast
