About this property

Garden cottage Te Horo

Our guest house is set amongst beautiful cottage style gardens and on a 4 acre lifestyle block. We have fenced chickens and goats that are friendly and love visitors. Our sunny welcoming garden cottage house awaits you. It’s warm and toasty through winter with a heat pump and is suitable for singles, couples or families up to a maximum of 3 people. Close to the shops (5 min drive) and only only a short drive to spectacular walks in the Tararua Ranges. Monochrome modern decor.
There is a kitchenette with a small bar fridge, kettle and microwave, so cooking facilities are extremely limited. If you like to dine out, there are plenty of fabulous restaurants and eateries nearby like the bus stop cafe, river stone cafe, long beach, and the front room.

As an experience, you can add on an encaustic art workshop. I have my own art studio on site and am more than happy to do this. Please visit my website for more details.

We have a little play-fort with monkey bars for the kids but they must be supervised at all times.

Cute clean studio that was private from the main house. It had everything we needed, whilst we were in and out attending a weekend of festivities. Another advantage is that it's situated on the town belt - so you're immersed in nature whilst also being very close to the CBD.

One night stay

The room was lovely and the outside area was nice and quite. The single bed was too low for me as I have problems with my knees, but my friend and I swatted beds which was not the best for us as she is older than I, but can get up easer. Other than that the manager was the best and helped as much as she could.

Unwind and soak

Lovely little place. Quiet and clean - perfect for a weekend escape from the kids. If the weather allows, we totally recommend asking your fabulous hosts to set up the outdoor bath tub for you in the evening. Our candlelight soak next to a crackling bon fire, listening to ruru and pukeko calling on a still night was wonderful!

Not a ‘cottage house’ as described.

The description as a cottage house is extremely misleading. A house has all you need, there was no kitchen, no laundry. Pitiful ‘kitchenette’ had no teaspoons, one soup spoon for us to share to eat our breakfast, plunger coffee, no plunger, no instant coffee as an alternative, no milk. Watch out for the fridge, it will tip off it’s tiny shelf as you open the door. No dining table or chairs. Garden quite unkempt now, not like photos. It’s better described as a 2 room sleepout with ensuite, kettle and toaster.

We enjoyed our stay. The bach was clean, the setting nice and we enjoyed the outdoor bath. There was tea and coffee but no milk and no sharp knife. I would suggest a bit more thought be given to this as there's no kitchen.
