Great spot and super comfortable

This accommodation is everything you could want. It has great decor, friendly hosts, plenty of space, beautiful surroundings and is super handy to town. It has multiple options for sitting out, a spa and a country feel, and Diana fills the place with treats and breakfast supplies. I will definitely be back!

This is an exceptional place. The home is located next to a home which has land. The owners Dianne and Andrew are wonderful people and made our visit very special. The place itself is very comfortable and filled with everything you need for a relaxing stay in a pleasant country like surrounding.

Excellent pre-Christmas stay

We had great stay at Dianna and Andrew’s cottage. The cottage is really comfortable. There is home baked scone, chocolate, cheese, wine, nest cafe capsules, one full bottle of milk, eggs from their hens, washing powder, spa bath, lazy-boy, comfortable bed, beautiful environment, birds, dogs, ships…. When Dianne knew we would go to the local market before we head back to Auckland, she drew a lovely map, and she phoned the local wine maker for us to find out whether he will be in the market. We strongly recommend their nice and comfortable cottage.

A Perfect Choice

We loved our 5 days staying here, a warm welcome from hosts and pets greeted us on arrival. The hosts went above and beyond with the many thoughtful extras provided. We immediately felt at home. A sense of the country in a farm cottage, a few minutes drive from town. Would def recommend as an ideal place to stay for a couple. Recommend staying several days to enjoy all the unique Gisborne tourism opportunities. Railbikes, Eagle/Manta Ray feeding, Night Sky Viewing, amazing opportunities not found elsewhere.

Amazing, cute, comfortable!

This little cottage was just a dream. It's surrounded by so many plants that Diane and Andrew planted when they first moved there. When we arrived they asked if we would like any suggestions of where to go and showed us around the property so we wouldn't be lost. We were also greeted with homemade scones, preserves, a bottle of wine and all these other great treats that made us feel right at home. It was, unfortunately raining for a large portion of our trip, but we didn't mind spending time in the cottage and enjoying the hot tub that was there. I had some great conversations with Diane and Andrew and they were just so kind and friendly. We hope their place will be available the next time we go to Gisborne as it truly was such a joy to stay there!

Fantastic stay

Dianna and Andrew are lovely hosts. The cottage was spacious and very comfortable and beautifully presented. Lovely peaceful settling with home cooked treats and fresh farm eggs. Spa each night was a real treat. Just a 5 mintue drive into Town but you felt like you were out in the country. Highly recommend.
