Communication with the property manager was clear and concise. Easy access.
What was extremely disheartening was the building itself. Not a Cottage but a placed prefab building. Green moss covered the majority of the exterior. No garden unless you clarify it as a native garden. Also we booked for a 3 bedroom cottage as we were a group of 3 separate adults. We arrived to find one queen bedroom and a second bedroom with 2 singles. The final bedroom was locked. We booked the property for 3 bedrooms not to share. Otherwise everything was well maintained if not dated. So in conclusion great people but poor property.

Beautifully presented quaint three-bedroom cottage with stunning gardens only a 15min drive to Christchurch city centre. Friendly and welcoming host that left extra treats that were appreciated by us all during our stay. We enjoyed having cups of tea and coffee in the garden while the children warmed to the beautiful horses next door.

Comfortable, warm and all we needed for the two nights stay.
The only comment was perhaps the steps into the main entrance could have a rail to help especially for those with mobility as an issue.

Good for kids + dog
This was a great place to stay on our recent trip to Christchurch. The cottage is modern and warm on the inside and located in lovely grounds that we would have loved to explore more if the weather was better. It’s not in town but still close enough to enjoy all the Christchurch attractions while visiting.

Out of the city but close enough with a car
A great peaceful country spot but not too far from he hustle and bustle. A good place to chill and a good place to base for exploring. We'd definitely return.

Long weekend getaway
I had an amazing time at the place, it was so quiet and peaceful, the host John was excellent, property was beautiful, modern and self contained. The stay was very comfortable and location was local to rivers, farms and
restaurants. Best part was that my doggies were also allowed! Definitely will be back :)

Very well appointed 3 bedroom cottage. In the country yet easy travelling distance and roads to places we needed to go. We needed somewhere that we could take our puppy with us and this was perfect, although he was totally fascinated with the horses and chickens and myriad of farm smells!!Definitely an on the lead place. Super quiet and peaceful, set in fabulous funky grounds.

Whilst unassuming on the outside, Nut Point cottage is clean, warm and comfortable, as well as being fully equipped and tastefully decorated. Waking up to bird song was fantastic and refreshing and we especially enjoyed meeting the beautiful four-legged neighbours. Thanks John.

Awesome wee cottage
John is a great host. Very helpful and made sure we had everything needed. He was also very helpful when we had to extend our stay...twice while we waited for a suitable rental.
The cottage is set in beautiful private surroundings, a perfect place to relax. The artwork throughout the cottage was also superb.
