Reviews
“What a marvellous place to stay, peaceful, set in beatiful surroundings. The host and hostess were exceptional hard working NZers who really and truly do go out of their way to demonstrate hospitality. The cottage was well equipped, warm and inviting with all the pleasures of home. I would recommend Kintail Cottage to one and all. We will be back. “

“We loved this cosy, peaceful cottage – a home away from home. Beautiful gardens and lovely hosts who spoil you with lots of attention and delicious food! A gorgeous country retreat at the foot of the Tararua’s. Highly recommended, we will be back! “

“I have stayed here a few times now and just keep coming back for more! Nice and quiet place to stay, lovely gardens and very freindly couple. Suits our needs perfectly. Shannon is a quaint little place – great coffee and a cute little retail therapy shop called Oosh! Don’t forget to visit Foxton while you are in the area its a neat little place to have a wonder around. “
