This place was absolutely magical. Every single detail, from the thoughtfully curated decor to the pristine cleanliness, made it feel like a dream stay. The space was beautifully designed; cozy, elegant, and full of charm in every corner. You could tell how much love and care went into creating it. The outdoor hot tub was such a highlight! Soaking under the stars in complete peace was unforgettable. The surroundings are stunning; waking up to such natural beauty was a gift in itself. Anna and Nick were the loveliest hosts; warm, welcoming, and truly attentive. You can feel their passion for hosting in every thoughtful touch. We felt so relaxed and looked after throughout our stay. This was more than just accommodation, it was an experience. We can’t wait to come back!

What a fabulous place! The accommodation at the Woodsman’s Den was so comfortable, and the surroundings are absolutely stunning, so peaceful and relaxing, not to mention the amazing hot tub! Nick and Anna couldn’t have been more helpful, everything was fantastic, thank you!

A 2 bedroom cottage set in parklike surroundings. Honestly even though the weather is bad today (yeah for the hot tub!)! the view is like I'm sitting in a storybook picture. Everything is quality, with most needs provided including some welcome eats. The only small issue is having nowhere to put suitcases or clothing.

This is the most tranquil setting you will ever come across. Just off the main road, super easy to find. Anna and Nick were amazing hosts. We cannot thank you enough for letting us staying at the woodsman’s den. A glass of wine on the side of the hot tub truely mad this a magical place to park up for the night. The kids had a ball running around the section. We will certainly be back again next time we head to the South Island.
