This was a lovely stay. The views from the dome were fabulous, the private jacuzzi right outside our back door was so very enjoyable. We took the e-bikes for a ride and the views were stunning. Tim and Hugh were more than accommodating and of course, the fresh baked bread and fresh eggs stealthily delivered to our back table were a huge bonus! Another bonus was a huge hailstorm we got to watch. The lavender fields and whole farm were wonderful to stroll around. There were horses and sheep and all kinds of lovely things to see.

It was spotlessly clean and modern. Had everything you would need. It faced onto a beautiful garden, very private. Only there for a night but could stay a week easily.

This exceeded our expectations in most regards. The location was isolated, but still within easy drive of facilities. The little cottage had everything we needed with lovely touches by the hosts such as a lovely gift basket on arrival, a large selection of coffee and teas, lovely array of food for the continental breakfast, indoor and outdoor footwear, bath salts, linen and towels. Best part - the outdoor bath with a view of the dark sky reserve. What a spectacular, quiet, warm, beautiful place!

The location was amazing - you are so close to the lake and church and the town is just a few minutes walk away across the footbridge - and it’s beautiful views all the way. The property is cosy, and well equipped if you’re self catering. It’s easy access to the Tekapo Springs and Roundhill and Ohau Skifield. Plenty of restaurants in within walking distance and a great supermarket for all your self catering needs.

The cottage is very nice and had everything we needed It was warm and cozy and the bed was very comfortable. I appreciated having an electric blanket. A good location for day trips to Mount Cook, Tekapo, or further south to Cromwell. The clay cliffs are worth a visit. Overall, it was an excellent place to stay, even in winter. Although it was foggy at Twizel, Mount Cook, which is about 45 minutes drive away, it was beautiful there, so we'll worth going to.

The cozy cottage with the fire going and horses was the perfect way to spend my daughters 6th birthday in winter! We loved the views and star gazing from the veranda. Lee was lovely and my daughter was so happy to meet the horses. Would love to ride them next time! The amenities were great everything was well thought out and it made our stay very enjoyable. We will definitely be back again ☺️

Cottage on Harrogate was amazing! The house was beautiful, well equipped, cosy and comfortable – we didn’t want to leave! The booking was easy, the communication with the owners fantastic and they accommodated our request for earlier check in - which made our stay perfect. We will definitely be back.
