Hampden

Plum Tree Cottage is a sunny 2 bedroom house which sleeps 5 and has a separate lounge, kitchen and dining room. It is set in a large well fenced section surrounded by birds and orchard trees in the quaint village of Hampden, which is alongside the Moeraki Boulders beach. Guests are expected to take their own bed linen/sleeping bags, towels and food and to leave the crib clean and tidy for the next occupants thanks, this helps to keep the nightly charge down.
