What our guests have said
“A million thanks to you for the unforgettable time we spent at your place. We have travelled a lot in our lives and your Apple Pickers’ Cottages is one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen. And as well as the beautiful landscape, it is your merit for having created such a peaceful and lovely place. It was hard for us to leave.”
The cottage was charming, beautifully decorated and in a gorgeous position. We watched the sun rise over the estuary, flax and sea birds, a perfect New Zealand view.
“ The location was stunning. The surroundings were so peaceful and relaxing, gorgeous sunrises, native birds, it was close to local attractions yet felt hidden from the world. A truly relaxing weekend retreat!”
Understated luxury. Peaceful. Wonderful outlooks, the tides, the trees, the bath…. We are so grateful!
