Find the country houses that appeal to you the most
Looking for a country house?
The top choice for people wanting to get away from noise and fast-paced city life. Country houses are private homes based in the peaceful countryside, with communal facilities and meals available. Activities to unwind can be included too, such as trekking, birdwatching and cycling.
Great hospitality from Brenda the owner. Lovely birdsong from bellbirds and tuis in the the morning. Well kept garden and the deck is nice. Nice location on hillside with peep views of Portobello and the adjacent Bay. Close to town and food. Good access to hiking spots like Sandymount Wildlife Refuge and Allan's Beach, close to Highcliff Road. Very good pricing.
Warm welcome.
Beautiful home & gardens.
Well appointed, spacious accommodation, luxury bed linen & toiletries. Nice touch that there was a separate lounge with fridge (tea/coffee making facilities as well as snacks, soft drinks & beer) available as well as your bedroom and bathroom.
Breakfast excellent, best we have had on our travels around New Zealand.
Would highly recommend a stay with Anna.
Very good size of cottage, had everything you needed. Very good location in the middle of the peninsula. Lovely to have the sheep come up to the balcony and being able to feed them (our kid loved it). Loved the farm experience, the peace and quiet and the lovely reception by our host Paula. She was even so kind to babysit our 1.5yr old so we could do an evening activity. Also very good tips for activities!
Great Continental Breakfast , location and views perfect, awesome location, quiet and peaceful, lots of birds, everything you need in the room plus extras, lovely welcome, loved our stay.
