Very tranquil. Gill had thought of everything and left us to ourselves, which we like. 3 minutes from Cromwell, it felt worlds away. Super comfortable bed and every we needed for a lovely stay.

Nothing to dislike

Peaceful setting on outskirts of Cromwell. Lovely retreat. Lives up to it's name. Great base for vineyard tours, walking or biking trails. Excellent facilities with all the amenities.

There was nothing not to like, Burn Cottage Retreat was the best stay during our 6 day visit to NZ

The location was excellent. Cabins are nestled in a beautifully maintained park like setting. It was a pleasure to explore the gardens. We were greeted by the host personally and received a tour of our accommodation. The place was exceptional, clean and well laid out. Absolutely deserving of a 10 rating that we are giving and we would not hesitate to go back anytime.

The breakfast was generous and delicious! The granola was full of goodness which went beautifully with the vanilla yoghurt and stewed apricots. They provided a quality coffee making machine with pods.

Burn Cottage Retreat is an epic place and we enjoyed every single minute there. The garden is absolutely stunning and the cottage is beautiful and soooooo clean. It is equiped with all you need! Never seen such neat drawers in my entire life :). Gill and Noel are lovely and kind hosts. They put all their heart, soul and hard work into this epic place to share it with travellers like us. We feel blessed that we had the opportunity to stay there for a few days. We where spoilt every day with treats from Gill's kitchen, which we really enjoyed. I want to thank Gill once again for helping and assisting me in a medical issue while I was there. It is much appreciated. Definately the most beautiful place we stay at in NZ!

There is nothing not to like.

It was all perfect. The unit was exceptionally clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. A very relaxing location. The bed was comfortable, and the garden surroundings were restful.

The water pressure in the shower wasn't great.

The service and little touches, like the fire burning, the fresh baking on arrival, the treats and the walnuts, made our stay feel that much more special. The gardens were lovely to explore and the laundry room was a welcome surprise.

All was perfect

A retreat it is! This is one of if not the best self-catering places I’ve been at. Cozy, comfortable, clean and has everything one needs. Even, home-made cookies. I had a wonderful welcome by Gill and Noel and they were happy to help with everything. The surroundings are wonderful, don’t miss their garden, it’s wonderful. I did not want to leave the place. I wish I could have stayed more than the two nights booked.

It was perfect in every way.

The special Breakfast Basket filled with local goodies was delicious and abundant. The location was so and charming! A little piece of heaven.
