Burn Cottage Retreat, $185 - $235

Three brand new self contained cottages, in very private, peaceful and relaxing woodland and tussock garden setting, 3km from Cromwell.

Phil and I have built the cottages ourselves and they have been specifically designed as the perfect retreat for couples to completely relax and unwind. Our fabulous location means we are the perfect place from which to explore Central Otago, the skifields,the wineries and the great range of activities available.

Moonlight and Rascal Cottages each sleep 2 people (one king size bed only).

Celebration Cottage, with disabled access, sleeps up to 4 people but is best suited to 3 people or for two people who prefer a bed each. The cottage has one king size bed, one king single and one trundle single bed (all side by side in the same room). Please note however that Celebration cottage is not suitable for children under 12 years.

Each cottage is fully self contained, with a private and sunny deck area, barbecue, carport and plenty of extra parking.

The cottages also have TV/DVD and DVD library, books and magazines, gas fire for ambience and luxurious ensuite bathrooms with great showers and toiletries provided.

We have even planted a vegetable garden, rhubarb and fruit trees for guests to use during the summer months.

Stone fruit orchards and award winning wineries are located at the end of our road, just a two minute drive away.

This really is the perfect base for your Central Otago holiday, a relaxing escape from everyday life, or a great place for a group of friends or family to meet up and relax amidst informal, peaceful, luxurious surroundings. We recommend at least a two night stay.
