Jill Main
A fantastic stay at Judith's place. It is cute with lots of lovely hand finished features, a creatives haven. Beautifully clean, great communication with Judith, I can't wait to stay again. I highly recommend Kotuku Cottage.
Robyn Lean
Lovely holiday home, warm and comfortable. Has everything you need. Owner is really helpful with great communication. Didn’t want to leave this place, it’s so beautiful.
Rebecca
Characterful wee cottage perfectly positioned within the village. Loved our stay of three nights here. Kids especially loved the wee cubby bedroom downstairs. Easy to get warm and stay toasty on a very wet and dreary afternoon. Judith was a pleasure to deal with and very prompt with all communications. Would happily book again.
