Excellent property location

Our hosts Dave and Sue were great with communication and help when needed. Location is central to most of the mid coast with only an hr drive each way to attractions. Beautiful to wake up to the hills and cows. Highly recommended. If we come again we will definitely stay here again.

Incredible property with great views

Pincots cottage was simply incredible. The views were amazing, the property was beautiful and very clean and Sue was a lovely host, giving us complimentary jam and milk from her farm. Her dog is also very friendly and may pay you a surprise visit! Highly recommend.

Gorgeous rural setting

The whole house was very clean with modern facilities and a full size kitchen. (Instructions on using the modern stove and range would be helpful. I couldn't figure it out, but my husband finally did. Also, it you plan to do lots of cooking the frying pan wasn't in great shape, all the other dishes and pans were fine) It has comfortable couches and beds. Nice heater for the living area. At the bottom of the driveway it looks as if there is a path across the road that runs the full distance of the lake. We just didn't have enough time to do it. Note the dam is under construction. This didn't effect us. The views are amazing as are all the relaxing sounds of birds singing. My husband says this was his favorite place to stay!

Wonderful place to unwind.

The place is large enough to accommodate our entire family of 6, but my wife and I still found it perfect for just the two of us. New Zealand rentals are just different. They have accommodations for everything. We could have cooked a gourmet meal with everything that was equipped in the kitchen. Had we planned better, we would have taken advantage of the kitchen. The Cambridge restaurant scene is good, but we didn’t want to leave the place once we dropped our bags. This is a gem for sure. The atmosphere is tranquil. The deck is surrounded by nature and has privacy. It’s a great spot to home base for your hobbiton and waitomo cave tours. Highly highly recommend.

We loved our stay at Pincots. The house is beautiful and well stocked. Very comfortable beds and beautiful view. A great place to just relax. While a bit in the country it is only 10 minutes away from the town of Cambridge with all you need including nice restaurants. Sue was wonderful and stayed in touch to make sure all was fine. I would definitely go back here and probably spend more time to visit central north island sites. Lived having April drop by for little visited as well.

Perfect

Was in the area for a rowing regatta and the location was brilliant. Cottage had everything we needed and was well set up (although, given it poured with rain, a dryer would have been handy for all the rowing gear each night!). Appreciated that it had basic things like spreads and oil, and beautiful home made jams. Would definitely stay again.

Absolutely loved staying in this gorgeous cottage. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect and beautiful spot for this country girl and her wedding party to get ready in for my big day.

The cottage was lovely, and the rooms were comfortable! The views were breathtaking from the front room, we had a lovely few evenings while enjoying a stunning open kitchen to make meals and chat. April was the cutest visitor, we loved when she made her rounds! Thank you to Sue for the tasty jam and chutney, it was such a pleasant surprise to enjoy with our toast and coffee in the am.

Idyllic, charming, and so comfortable!

Everything about this Bach was perfect. It is gorgeous, well furnished with everything you need including homemade jam & chutney! Our two young (5, 2) kids got a real kick out of the young cows being in a pasture next door. They also loved the books and toys on hand. This place was so well kept, clean, and comfortable. If we come back to New Zealand we will definitely try to stay here again. April the spaniel was a sweetheart. Sue and Dave were excellent hosts. Thank you!
