Country Retreats on Ranzau 1

Nelson

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a heated pool, Country Retreats on Ranzau 1 is set in Nelson. This holiday home features a garden. The holiday home also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Our unit was super clean, modern and the beds were comfortable. We liked the option of being able to take our dog, we decided not to this time though. Was thoughtful to have some drinks, chocolates, milk and biscuits ready for our arrival as well as some fresh eggs in the fridge. Having the use of the free washing machine and drier was fab.

Country Cottage Rotorua

Offering quiet street views, Country Cottage Rotorua is an accommodation set in Whakatahuri, 22 km from Tikitere - Hell's Gate Thermal Park and 26 km from Buried Village. The air-conditioned accommodation is 13 km from Rotorua International Stadium, and guests can benefit from complimentary WiFi and private parking available on site. The property is non-smoking and is situated 14 km from Paradise Valley Springs. Tracey was so friendly when we arrived and it was nice to be greeting. The accommodation was clean and immaculate, the cottage had a good shower and had all the amenities we needed for one night. I accidently left some sentimental jewellery at the cottage and Colin posted it back to me at no charge and was so helpful and kind as I was really upset that I had lost it. That is five star service and I would definitely stay here again.
