Eden Cottage lived up to its name - it couldn’t have been more perfect! The views out every window are utterly sublime - there is the layered and dramatic Maniototo mountains beyond the rolling green hills and we were allowed to walk up the inviting path towards them in the evening, on a blissful walk with dramatic skies overhead that words can’t describe. The cottage itself is utterly charming and has everything you need, including a bloody awesome wee wood-burner which was stoked to the top with wood and ready to light, which we did. Upon getting cosy, a visitor arrived at the door, Polly the cat. Now I’m a serious cat person, my friend more of a dog woman but Polly gave that dog woman so much love I made a photo shoot to forever convince her why cats are great. Polly is gorgeous, the perfect cat, the perfect finishing touch on a perfect cottage with perfect views… super comfy beds - I slept like an absolute queen (and I’m a terrible sleeper) in my single bed - I literally didn’t move. Lovely linens throughout, and that delicious rural silence to help zzzz off. The family were lovely, friendly and extremely accommodating right down to the ‘no one is booked for tonight, so no rush to be off by checkout time’ text we received the next morning. And Chloe’s artwork - wow she’s so talented! The paintings in the bedrooms - just made me smile so much - you’ll have to go to see it, and the photo of four trees in the living room - windswept, dramatic, beautifully composed, framed - and my excitement the next day to see those same four trees in the distance out my bedroom window. This place is Eden, in terms of my aesthetics. You just know very good people are nearby, and have thought of you when you’re snug in Eden Cottage. I’ll be spreading the word about this absolute wee gem, and oh my goodness I’ll be back. It’s just metres from the rail trail, which as it happens is what we did the next day, my friend having turned up from Wanaka with a couple of e-bikes.

A very special place to relax after a long bike ride over Omara saddle. The room and the facilities were beautiful and clean, the dip in the Pool a great refreshment. The hospatility was exceptional. Thank you so much for hosting us, we can highly recommend and would definetly come again:)

Fantastic location on the Otago Rail Trail and walking distance to the pub. Everything in the cottage is brand new and to a high standard. Very well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable self catering stay. Lovely views of the surrounding countryside from this light and spacious cottage.

Great facilities outstanding hosts

Excellent location right on the Otago rail trail. Really friendly and helpful owner. The food in the adjoining pub is really tasty, loved the lamb rump. The unit is spacious, comfortable and quiet. They provide a continental breakfast that you make yourself which is really convenient so we could set off early to continue our cycle trip.

Great spot, lively building, Simon’s a good rooster!

Very friendly staff and a tidy, comfortable, well presented room. Will be returning.

The home and gardens were stunning. There was so much to look at and enjoy. It was very comfortable and warm. The hosts had lit the fire and the lights were on, it was very welcoming. We loved the pigs and the wee cat! Can’t wait to return.

The location-really central and a sunny spot
