“We had a great time at this bach – spotlessly clean, really comfortable, lovely garden, it had everything we wanted, and had a nice friendly feel to it. Great to have a fire for those cold nights. And nice to get to know more about the architect, Plischke, while we were there. Thanks “

“Spent a week here in the winter while recuperating from a hospital stay. Walked miles (Only short walk to shops and movies etc) Very warm and comfortable. Very well equipped kitchen. Very quite and peaceful, tui’s and other birds in the garden. Would stay again any time I was in the area. Would also be very comfortable in the summer. Check it out ! Alan Swafford “

“Fantastic getaway – such a beautiful house and really well stocked with all you need! “
“We had a fantastic stay, very comfortable house, with quality furnishings and comfortable beds. The house is a lovely piece of 50’s architecture, designed by Ernst Plischke, an Austrian architect who spent a significant part of his life in NZ. There’s a detailed book in the house dedicated to his work. We had some great sunny weather during our stay, lovely fenced garden for our two boys to run around, and a cold, rainy day which was nice and cosy with the woodburner going. House well supplied with everything we needed – highly recommended for a long or short stay.”
“Wonderful, well appointed cottage with fantastic spa bath. We very much enjoyed our stay, and hope to stay again sometime. “
“Fabulous. Loved the place. It’s an oasis. Very, very quiet. Everything you need, nothing cluttering the place that you don’t need. Very comfortable beds. Clean. And there’s even a friendly neighbourhood cat who pops in for a scratch every now and then. A great hideaway. Thoroughly recommend.”
