Absolutely amazing!
We stayed at Magnolia Cottage for 2 nights with our 3 children and enjoyed it very much. Beth is so nice and took care of all the small details we could possibly think of. We enjoyed the fireplace, the breakfast, the view from the house and of course the cute dogs :) Highly recommended and if we travel to the area again we'll definitely be back.

Our hosts were so friendly and welcoming, and the property was top notch. Beautiful place, we loved our time there and waking up to see sheep and cows outside the windows. Definitely recommend to everyone. Darren and Nyria from Paraparaumu.
