A nice cottage on a property in Whitemans Valley which is converted cow shed. Really enjoyed having accommodation out of the busy city, but still close enough to amenities and Wellington City

The log fire was light and the accommodation was warm. As we had a toddler and baby with us so it was toasty warm with plenty of firewood. Just to note the property doesn’t even let you use your own wifi as it’s based in a valley so absolutely no Internet at all. Peaceful 😊 Friendly helpful hosts Martin and Nicola

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, it was definitely something different. Maybe think about connecting WIFI and clean up abit more as I had found there were certain areas in the house that weren't swept or mopped. The location is abit far out aswell. Thanks for letting my family & I stay 🙂

This is a lovely property. The owners have put a lot of time into making it a home away from home. We enjoyed our stay and it had everything we needed. It was a 40 minute drive into the central city, so that would be the only thing to take into account for a city break. The hosts were lovely and answered any questions we had, they also left some biscuits for the kids and gave us some fresh eggs to take home, this was very kind and greatly appreciated.

We had a lovely stay at this cottage. The house had everything we needed to feel like we were at home with our family. The scenery is beautiful with lovely farm views. The hosts are welcoming and friendly, going the extra mile by allowing the kids to help feed their horses, which they loved :) We would definitely recommend to all and would love to come back in the future.

Owner very friendly and accommodating, lovely quiet setting. Few cleanliness issues on arrival but didn't detract from the overall experience. Shower was AMAZING, found the queen bed a bit hard for our liking and shame that many of the DVDs were unplayable in the evenings due to their region. Kids loved feeding the horses carrots, recommend taking a bag or two along. Also really appreciated the gift on arrival - thank you!

Then stay at Herringbone cottage. From the interesting history of the building, the charming and well appointed cottage atmosphere and the warmth of the host we felt welcome and had a comfortable stay. The peaceful surroundings are a tonic after a busy and tiring year. Heartily recommended.

We had such a quiet family get away at Herringbone Cottage. The owners were super easy to contact and made life easy for us in so many ways. Everything was where it should be. The older 3 kids had a ball watching movies and playing games...especially hearing stories about a magical dragon in the hills (Marty is quite the story teller)!! Admittedly the 2 year old was a nightmare with the fire going...mr touches everything! So we used the clothes airer as a fire guard Would (and have) recommend to Families needing a chill, quiet break!
