    It had a lovely rural outlook with some nosey sheep, which added to the ambience! Very comfortable beds and lovely shower. Recommended.

    Thistle cottage was a beautiful, clean, well appointed cottage in a very quiet area. We stayed just one night prior to flying out of Auckland early in the morning.

    This property is tucked away in a quiet location but very convenient for seeing the area. The house is immaculately clean and we had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped.
