Our group felt so cozy and homey at Fantail cottage while we explored nearby Hamilton and Hobbiton. Fiona was an excellent host and made sure we had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully equipped and the provided milk, coffee, hot chocolate, and cereals was a nice touch. Everyones favorite part is that the shower was hot with really good water pressure! We also really enjoyed the chickens (chooks) and they seemed to like our food scraps just as much. Thank you for a lovely stay :)

Country Mini-break

Immaculate and comfy cottage with lovely, peaceful rural setting. Perfectly positioned for the function we were attending and had no problems getting Ubers to and from the venue. The breakfast cereals and nespresso machine greatly appreciated before we left the next morning Thankyou Fiona
