This was a well awaited return visit from our initial visit years ago. This cottage is just so peaceful and had everything we needed. Marianne is a wonderful and welcoming host and it was so lovely to see that this great place is just as great as years ago. The bed was super comfy and the breakfast just fantastic. Our highlight was to sit and spend time in the spa admiring the beautiful stars! Thanks Marianne for another memorable and special stay.
Marianne is a great host. The brownie upon arrival was a lovely surprise and a delicious treat. We were due to arrived in the early hours of the morning and Marianne was more than accommodating to this request. The cottage is spacious and cosy at the same time. Everything was clean and spotless. The bathroom is modern and a good size. I have never felt softer towels. There is a TV in the room but is mounted high so it is not overbearingand you feel like you are getting a true escape from digital technologies (if that is what you want). The decor is gorgeous and well thought out. The bed was comfortable and warm and there are electric blankets if needed. The front deck looks out toward a beautiful country landscape. There was even freshly ground coffee and a plunger available in the kitchen. We had fresh eggs from the chickens and used the automatic egg cooker which was also in the cottage to soft boil them. We were lucky enough to have access to the hot tub which was just wonderful after our long walk of the Tarawera Trail. There is a sauna on site too which was available to us if we wished to use it. We had a wonderful stay here and would highly recommend this to our family and friends. Thank you Marianne for your wonderful hospitality. Look forward to seeing you again in the future.…
We fell in love with this beautifully laid out cottage with has cosy 1950s decor, a hottub looking out across a beautiful rural setting, and everything you could think for a comfortable stay. There was a wicker basket to collect eggs with from the nearby field which had a hen house, children's play equipment, table tennis, and a friendly rabbit - don't worry no rooster! A lady farmer took our children to to pet the calves and alpacas. Inside was fine bedlinen, a delicious breakfast bacon, chiabatta, juice, brioche buns, freshly ground coffee. There were games, books, we felt very relaxed there. The place is situated on a plain that is surrounded by ranges, so you're in this sunny sheltered ampitheatre of green pastures. Marianne was in a house nearby that doesn't overlook the property, so we had complete privacy but she was on hand the phone if we needed anything. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a blissful few days.…
Lovely stay at the Blossom Cottage in the Vintage Room. We were given a warm welcome from Marianne and could not have been better cared for. The accommodations were practical and comfortable, lots of hooks in the rooms to hang your things, a huge comfortable bed with a private bathroom. Delicious breakfast cooked to order. In the country which is serene and beautiful. We loved staying here and would highly recommend!
We loved our stay at Blossom Cottage. Marianne provides for us so well, and is a lovely host. The kids enjoyed the animals, spending time feeding them and collecting eggs for breakfast. The hot tub was a lovely bonus on the cold days. Highly recommend.
