Arja 
“We loved our stay at the Pond Cottage!”
The setting is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature and offering a peaceful escape. The cottage itself was perfect for our group of seven, with everything we needed to feel comfortable and at home. The interior is truly unique, inviting, and full of character. It was both cosy and spacious. The waterhole was so much fun for the kids and with the beach so close, there was lots of water play. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax. Highly recommend!

Thanks Arja! we love to host families, especially ones with all generations because I tried to design the cottage for all needs from little ones to grandparents and of course our four-legged friends! We hope to see you again. Thank you for leaving the cottage so clean! Kia Ora Shae Bachcare
