Herbert Hampden Cottage

Loved the little touches, like the treats in the fridge and the electric blankets that had already been turned on.

Just with it being this time of year it was hard to heat up. Maybe a fan heater would have been good to warm the room up to begin with, but this was not a big issue.

The complete stay, cute little cottage and most importantly the hosts Andy and Julie They were really kind and accommodating

Everything was perfect

Small but worked well due to good layout. Nice modern facilities

Just a unique stay in a high quality tiny stay. Very peaceful and extremely welcoming hosts.

Was not the easiest property to find and an indication in the directions that it was at the southern end of Wainakarua would have been helpful as we started looking for it in Hampden

Nicely set up eco cottage. Great gas cooker. Lovely garden surrounds. Very good host communication. They were very kind and friendly. Good fridge freezer. Good shower. Comfy bed. Good ramp for access. Lovely fresh eggs. Very nice farmyard decor.

Wifi didn't work and limited mobile data reception. No TV. Not ideal when I often work remotely in the evening. A lot of road noise. Needed my ear plugs. Curtains would be nice as blinds don't fully cover the windows. Curtains also help to keep it warm although it was mild and not cold on the night I was there.

Lovely

A cosy comfortable cabin in a lovely setting surrounded by trees and bushes. We had everything we needed for the stay. It was great to have Andy and Julie welcome us personally and to give us details of places to visit locally and further a field.

The tiny house was beautifully equipped, and the comfort of the bed was amazing. The setting was in a peaceful secluded area on the grounds of the host, and the chickens were a joy to watch. Warm welcome and some good advice as to what to see and do around Herbert. Easy drive to major attractions. Stayed luckily 2 nights to get the best of the area and surroundings. Very enjoyable experience. Thank you for the experience.

A very warm welcome! Immaculate Tiny Home that was just like brand new. Some treats provided! The coffee machine was very welcome.

Maybe a night light to better navigate a visit to the loo in the middle of the night without having to turn on lights.

Very nice stay and clean. They had some eggs for us from their own chickens. So nice.

Lovely location and very comfortable cabin. Hosts couldn’t have been more helpful. The chickens were also very friendly and amusing.

Logement dans une mini maison située dans un beau cadre. Le confort et le côté cosy nous a mis à l’aise. Les hôtes étaient très sympathiques et disponibles. Sur le terrain, on a été accompagné de poules et de lapins. Ce fut un plaisir d’y dormir .

아침 식사와 같이 그리고 커피,우유와 함께 맛있는 아침을 먹었습니다. 그리고 2025년 마지막 밤을 여기서 보내게 되어 너무 영광입니다

Quiet. Lovely. Cozy. Relaxing. Lovely hosts.

None at all. Everything is perfect.

The owners were extremely pleasant and hospital. Did not feel like we were staying at an accommodation but guests in a home!

None

The private settings.

We had such a wonderful stay! Andy and Judz are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and their personal touches can be seen in every corner. The place felt so warm and comforting, just like home, even though we were miles away.

Warm welcome, fresh eggs from the free range chickens and some delicious treats waiting for us in the cottage. Great hospitality, comfy bed and everything is in the cottage what you need for a perfect stay. Loved the location, quiet and peaceful. Close to al the special places in the area.

First we thought no flushing toilet but when you used to it, all good and no smell at all.

Location

Beautiful spot, great hosts, awesome tiny home. So great to come back from work late at night to find the electric blanket on. Really considerate

Nothing

Great location for exploring either side ...up to Oamaru or down towards Dunedin. Lovely location and beautiful scenery. Peaceful spot away from life's business. Cottage had everything needed. Fabulous hosts, warm and helpful. Highly recommend.

Andy & Julz were extremely helpful, accommodating and wonderful. They have created a wonderful, homely little accommodation which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a pleasure to be your guests. We would stay with you again anytime and thank you for allowing us to be your guests...

Liked how clean it was, with a great outlook. Loved the choice of dishes,linen etc. the little extras like the pink roses, and chocolate bar by the bed. It was small but not too small. Very well done! Beats a motel hands down and better value. Highly reccommend. The hosts were very welcoming and easy to deal with.

took a bit to get use to Swedish toilet and small hand basin. But okay! Just had to get use to them.

We received a wonderful welcome from our hosts, who had already given us great advice about where to stop and see fur seals on our way there. The bedroom is a good size and the living area/kitchen also. It's in a peaceful location, convenient for coastal sightseeing away from tourists.

The toilet/shower area is a bit cramped, but the shower was excellent! The turning off the main highway is hard to spot, and with traffic following close behind it's easy to overshoot

Was an excellent stay

The bed was so comfortable so was the shower and we were supplied with the best facilities!

I loved the location set in natural gardens. The overall accommodation was excellent. Enjoying a meal on the deck was a big added bonus - beats being in any restaurant.

Nothing at all

Location excellent set iamongst garden and trees.. Hosts were welcoming, bed was excellent. All round top place to stay..

The property's ambiance and location were exceptional. The living room offered a stunning view, enhanced by the surrounding trees and birdsong, creating a serene and meditative atmosphere. The hosts provided a warm and welcoming experience, engaging in pleasant conversation. We highly recommend this property.

Thankyou Julie and Andy for the warmest welcome and the fresh free range eggs. Your cottage is exceptional and in a beautiful setting.

There was absolutely nothing negative. It was a wonderful stay

A tiny piece of paradise. That was the best welcome reception we experienced by far in New Zealand. The host has a very good taste for furniture and equipment of the room.

The toilet system left me a bit surprised. The sink is too tiny but no more than others I found in bigger rooms during my stay.

In a really beautiful place, nice and quiet. Had everything we needed 😊

The building shook when we walked.

Lovely tiny home in a pleasant setting. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was well appointed and comfortable, The bed was the most comfortable of our trip.

We slight problem finding the entrance. It's best to look out for the tree lined entrance on the left just after turning off the main road.

Well appointed pristine cottage in beautiful garden setting. Hosts live in house next door who were available if required. Only 5 min drive to township of Hampden with a pub for dinner.

Charming, modern tiny house in picturesque garden close to local attractions like Moeraki Boulders and Katiki Point Lighthouse!
