We had a wonderful stay in Jane’s cottage. We loved the style and how Jane decorated the house with fresh flowers. Though it was summer we needed the fireplace, because we had some cold days. We loved it! The rooms and the whole house is perfectly equipped. Nothing was missing. Jane gave us hints where to walk in the beautiful environment. Nearby we went rafting on the Clarence river. One day we were allowed to feed the lambs on Jane’s farm with the bottle. It was amazing! The communication with Jane was easy and quick. We recommend Jane’s cottage without hesitation.

Wonderfully friendly host, gorgeous location, very relaxing and comfortable house. A great way to get away from the usual tourist route and to see another part of the Kaikoura coast. Loved listening to the ruru at night, watching the quail in the backyard, reading the history of the valley, and hanging out with the sheep. The kitchen was well appointed and easy to work in, the lounge and beds were very comfortable. The only drawback is that the house might be a little tricky for a larger group, as the bath/shower room is a bit of a hallway: it has four doors that open on to it. It's the easiest access to one bedroom, and the only interior access to the loo is through it.

What a fabulous stay we had. Jane and her family went over and above to ensure our comfort. They had the fire lit before we arrived so that the cottage was warm when we arrived, on an unseasonably cold summers day!

The property was so lovely and quiet; just the birds and the sound of the river. The house was neat and tidy, the kids loved the board games and the fireplace. Bedding was clean and comfortable. The property is on the rustic side but for us that was part of its charm. Hosts were attentive and friendly. Thank you Jane, we had a great time.

Quiet place to recharge

My sole intention for this visit was to disconnect from the noise & speed of city life, to clear my head and recharge. This location was perfect for that. The cottage is exactly what you would expect as an old farm house, with a modernised kitchen. I loved the farmhouse feel. Flowers, Eggs & Lemons made it feel very welcoming.I have already booked again

Lovely Quirky Cottage

Lovely quirky cottage in a peaceful setting. Well equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, which was a bonus. Lovely to be provided with eggs and lemons on arrival. The cottage has obviously been added to in various stages over time, therefore as others have commented, the bathroom setup is unusual with four doors. However, there are now locks on the three doors into the house. The fourth door is to the laundry and this is also where the toilet is. There is an outside door to the laundry, so the toilet can be accessed this way, if someone is in the bathroom (provided the outside door is unlocked!). One bedroom's only internal access is through the bathroom, but it also has an external door. There is no mobile phone signal (Spark), but this is not an issue with the unlimited internet. Unfortunately the weather wasn't very good when we were there (mid summer), but it was lovely to be able to light the fire one morning when it was cold with no sun expected.

Relaxing trip to celebrate the new year.

My friends and I had an amazing time staying at this lovely bach over New Year's! The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Its location was perfect, being close to several scenic walks and hikes which we thoroughly enjoyed. The hosts were fantastic - friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond to any questions we had. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and we would happily recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in a beautiful setting.

Wonderful little cottage

We wanted to ask Jane more about the history of the cottage as it seems to be over 100 years old at a guess. It has been nicely renovated inside though so is fairly modern. The location is totally remote and very private. We enjoyed a great BBQ on the lovely deck in the evening sun. Beautiful!

Gorgeous flowers and birdsong surround you in a beautiful valley. Special touches like fresh plums and flowers made our stay more memorable. Older farmhouse had everything we needed for sleeping and cooking and our hostess was friendly and informative.

Nostalgic hideaway

Came across this little gem last minute and so glad we did. The cottage took us back to memories of the original kiwi bach experience, all the basics provided, fresh flowers and fruit, comfy beds and a proper homely stay - we even needed the fire which the lovely owners had started for us for our arrival. Definitely recommend for a peaceful break away.

We enjoyed our short break at Waipapa Farm cottage. Even though the cottage was basic we so enjoyed the peace and being able to wander around the farm. Our hosts Jane and Ben were very friendly and responded to our requests quickly. There was no lock on the toilet door and the bathroom sink had no plug but these were minor problems that could have been easily solved. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage for two or three people, (there were seven of us). The more people the greater the price as each additional guest incurs an extra charge which makes the cottage expensive for what it is. Apart from that, we loved it!

Beneath a snow capped mountain, we loved our connection.

Weather became rough the following day on arrival. Suddenly, we were confined to our escape, environment, privacy, security, & romanticism. Our host met with us once settled in, & again before departing. It is a simple farm cottage, catches the sun with a warmth factor of 8/10, allows for outside open space characteristics & very well sheltered from southern environments. The water is clean & drains well. During the night it is cozy. The neighborhood are friendly & seem to support its aspect, upstream & to the river mouth some 4km away. My partner & I are very impressed & think we got a deal breaker (considering we've stayed iat 3 other home stays during our road trip). We thank bookabach for listing the opportunity, & didn't mind the 30min journey to Kaikoura & activities the region has to offer. Ka mo te wehe tumeke Ngati Kuri.
