About this cottage rental

Self-contained affordable cottage in rural settings Spacious for 2, still enough space for 4 adults, extra kids ok. Freeview TV + Free Wi-Fi. Pine forest and native bush for kids to play with plenty of space to explore. Incredibly private, surrounded by pine forest. 100% rural, yet only 15 minutes drive from Wellington CBD. Quite warm now with heat pump, log burner and oil heater so you'll be cosy even on coldest days. Please note this is rural and somehow quirky bach, not a hotel. If you prefer humming city and 4+ star accommodation you might enjoy more staying in one of Wellington hotels. This is reasonably priced bach for people who like outdoors and rural. No public transport nearby (closest bus stop 4km walk over hills) and the nearest shop is about 15km return trip. The access road from the highway (last 5-8minutes) is windy uphill but quite scenic after you pass the quarry. Air bed, porta cot, spare mattresses and more extras available on request (usually free), just ask. ----- More activities at our doorstep: * Some Friday mornings there are Forest Sessions in the nearby pine forest open to all children - search for Forest-Days-at-Horokiwi on Facebook or check Gifts and giveaways in this listing for details (and apologies for more cars parked in the area on these days) * Pony rides, Parties and Experiences for the Early Years next door (Google TrickleCreek co nz for details) - book well in advance * If you're looking for affordable quality shoes let us know and you can try the selection on offer @ Rostak (google Rostak co nz for details) Special conditions: No smoking and no pets please. Extras: Cleaning (Optional, NZ$30.00 per stay); Linen (Optional, NZ$5.00 per person);

Was a lovely little property. Great house, was clean and tidy and exactly how it looked online. A highlight was the little chicken that would come to our door in the morning!

We wanted a place secluded and away from everyone and we had that plus more. Teens really enjoyed the bush area. Was a quiet beautiful hutt like spot. Perfect for us! Highly recommended.

The listing is accurate. The location is secluded which is great for a quiet night. The weather at check in was cold and damp. No heat was left on, even at the lowest setting. Fridge was dirty and the place smelled damp. The price is right for what you get. The water for this unit is supplied by rain water and holding tank(s). Fine for showers and laundry but I wouldn't drink it. Not sure I would stay again but for the money, if you are in a budget, it is a good spot

Ok, so navigating the freeway to get there was a bit of a challenge to begin with - but once we got the hang of it it was fine. This was a gem of place for our family, with a side array of kitchen utensils, a great oven, a nice warm fire and wood to forage - we were very happy and comfortable. It was a lovely base to explore Wellington from, what a lovely view coming down the hill! We'll be back.

A great rustic holiday home for a family of five, as described. The kids thoroughly enjoyed the chickens and their adventures in the gully, making it the perfect bush getaway. A short scenic drive to Wellington. Michal's assistance and excellent communication made our stay even more enjoyable. Thank you
