I was hesitant at first about booking this magical cottage decided not judge before trying it and guess what I definitely coming back. I think i have a thing for remote homes. Since still been unable to find one to match my Karamea experience , how ever absolutely no regrets at all. This will be our last night , my children are sad already to leave. We have been on many trips , from holidays home , camp grounds to cabins this by far my children have said their BEST stay ever. I promised them we would return on another trip since we are always in the Nelson/Marlborough region around this time of the year. Thank you Anna for been such a wonderful host , the communication I appreciate so much was consistent , the cottage even for 1900 was great even better having a view from each corners of the house , there were so many bonus's here are just a few to start with , the animals that my children loved hanging with and having access to the river for the kids. I would highly recommend Stonehaven to anyone who is looking at having a break from the city life , also for those who have families , it truly is tranquil , breath taking , i still can not seem find words to match how we felt so peaceful , relaxing , quiet and just breath taking views loved watching the colours in the sky change depending on the time of the day . I enjoyed my stay been a kid again with my children. Thank you Anna so much for your hospitality , I hope my 4 kids were not too noisy for any near by neighbours not that there were any near by hehe. Would highly recommend , also even more for those with a family and young children.
