We stayed two nights in the blue cottage with our host Jane going in a heating up the unit while we were away fro the day ensuring we had a warm welcome when we came back from our day touring. The breakfast Jane suppied was also great with a lovely selection of cereals,fruits,toast and Jams (especially the fabulous raspberry jam).

This was our first Bed and Breakfast experience and it couldn't have been better. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming and the accommodations were great. From the pet sheep, to the book of local menus, it was the little details that made The Croft special. We wish we could have stayed longer than just one night.

In our 7 weeks in NZ, Jane, by far, won our award for "Best Hostess". We spent four peaceful and serene nights (and days) in the Blue Cottage. Jane was always available to answer questions, do a load of laundry, or just chit-chat. She was not intrusive, just delightfully pleasant and fun to talk to. She had an insatiable appetite... More

We knew The Croft would be perfect when we pulled into the driveway...perfectly private and perfectly welcoming. We were traveling with another couple, and we took turns hosting on our deck or sitting area in the cottage for a nice glass of NZ wine and cheese and crackers. Jane and Ross were wonderful hosts and happily answered our many questions.... More

The cottages built by Ross are nothing short of fabulous. Private, airy, and with picture perfect views. Huge rooms, with a sitting area, kitchen, and large bathroom. We stayed only one night and left early the next morning on a 3 days kayaking trip of Doubtful Sound, and Jane made sure that we were well provisioned for our early morning... More

We stayed here for three nights and had a wonderful stay. The cottage was really lovely, you might expect to see it in a magazine. Jane has added some lovely homely touches, I loved the window seat and the deck area. Jane and Ross make wonderful hosts, nothing is too much trouble, breakfasts were excellent. We booked a trip to... More

A group of us stayed at The Croft this February and had a wonderful stay. The cottages in the garden are really cute with lovely views down to the lake, and Jane made us all feel very welcome. It was the perfect location for an early morning start to drive to Milford Sound, although a short drive into town if... More

My wife and I have just stayed at the Croft for two nights and can't recommend it highly enough. Accommodation is spotless, breakfast is very good and Jane is charming. Definitely worth a revisit on our next NZ trip

We stayed at The Croft last weekend for two nights and it was fantastic. Myself and my boyfriend stayed in the smaller cottage and his mother and aunt in the larger one. The attention to detail in the cottages was superb, they have a real eye for interior design and we instantly felt at home. Everything was there that you... More

We stayed at The Croft in December and enjoyed our visit to this comfortable and beautiful cottage very much. The views from there are unbelievable and the cottage is very clean, spacious and absolutely quite. The only sound you hear every now and then is Percy, the cute little lamb in the garden. Jane is a very friendly and caring... More
