Lily’s Cottage is available for a single or a couple (not suitable for children or pets).  Originally an old school house, Lily’s Cottage provides luxury accommodation with a Queen bed, antique furnishings, leather lounge suite, heat pump, modern bathroom and kitchen facilities (including convection oven, microwave and BBQ). The main area is carpeted, with stunning recycled timber flooring with matai in the kitchen and dining room, acacia in the sunroom, and beautiful kauri in the bathroom.  WiFi is included.

There is a sunroom for you to soak in the rays at Lily’s Cottage, or you can explore the extensive grounds for other resting spots.  Sit in the pagoda beside the fish ponds and aviary, or you can simply enjoy the cottage-deck overlooking the vineyard and river.  Alternatively take a stroll down the tree-lined pathways toward the river and its swimming holes.  Find out more here.
