“Felt like coming home”
+Everything about our 2 night stay was spot on. Can't wait to return to this delightful, well appointed cottage and heavenly garden. The hosts were so welcoming and friendly, including Baxter the dog. Loved the Matarangi area and so close to Hamilton which is brimming with things to do.

+We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our 10-year anniversary! From the moment we arrived, Neil and Michelle made us feel right at home with their warmth and hospitality. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and their genuine hospitality truly made our stay unforgettable. The Gardeners Cottage itself is absolutely amazing. It's beautifully decorated, cozy, and full of charm - exactly the peaceful retreat we were hoping for - with an amazing view of their incredible garden! We woke up early each day (not normally something we would volunteer to do) to spend more time enjoying the view from their various garden lounges. We’re already looking forward to the next opportunity to return and enjoy this special place again. A huge thank you to Michelle and Neil for making our anniversary so memorable. You’ve created a truly magical spot!
