About this Holiday House

Located in a quiet rural area 5 km from Alexandra. Close to two DOC reserves, a dam for swimming and fishing and a vineyard. Great cycling, walking and mountain biking in the area. Old orchard with some fruit available in season. The house has most of the facilities that you should need but is not a luxury stay. If you are after character, not bland and would rather look at the scenery than the people next door this may well be the house for you.

Special Amenities

A charming stone cottage built in the 1860s. Lots of room for kids to run around, plenty of parking. Note because of the design of the cottage the bathroom is narrow and there is a step up to the shower.

Donald Tyree
Delightful rural setting in historic stone cottage handy to Alexandra. Facilities are in keeping with the age of the property but all functional and fine for a rustic holiday setting. Birds, rabbit and quail all provide evening entertainment in aged orchard environment, and the occasional fruit was delicious. Owners are responsive and helpful. After a 5-night break (in January 2026), we will plan to stay again in this unique property full of charm and character.

We really enjoyed our time in this delightful stone cottage. Lovely and close to Alex but far enough away to enjoy the peace and serenity of the countryside. The amenities are basic but very comfortable,clean and tidy. The step up to the shower was no bother to us but could be tricky for some. The barbecue was great and we ate dinner outside each night. We enjoyed some plums from the orchard. A highlight was sitting on the porch each night watching dozens of quail pass through on their way to their evening roost plus the antics of several bunnies. Excellent communication from the host. Would definitely stay again
