Moeraki

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. There is a heat pump and north facing deck with outdoor furniture to sit and relax in the sun. While here, feel free to help yourself to plums, apples, pears, blackcurrants, gooseberries and walnuts from the orchard when in season. House trained-well mannered dogs are permitted.
