Just beautiful and relaxing.

We loved everything about our stay, it was homely, cosy and had wonderful vibe to it. It was so close to Cromwell but it felt like our own little slice of paradise nestled amongst established trees and gardens. It had everything we needed and the hospitality just fabulous.

The personal touches with the fresh flowers and home made cookies made our stay all the more memorable. We ordered the welcome pack with a bottle of w**e of choice and cheese, crackers, fruit, chocolate and more which i highly recommend.

We didn't order the breakfast but if the welcome pack was anything to go by I am sure the breakfast would be amazing too. 5 stars

🎶 Nature’s soundtrack, from dawn till dusk… 🌿

At Burn Cottage Retreat, the day begins with a chorus of birdsong and ends with their gentle evening melodies.

No hustle, no bustle — just the beautiful sounds of nature reminding us to slow down and enjoy the moment.

Sometimes, the simplest luxuries are the most special. 🤍

Perhaps it’s time to linger a little longer, slow the pace, and let nature set the rhythm of your days. 🌿

We’d be delighted to welcome you to Burn Cottage Retreat whenever you’re ready for a peaceful escape. 🤍

Our Little Quail at Burn Cottage Retreat

Among the grasses, soft and green,
Our little quail are often seen.
They wander in, so sweet and shy,
Then disappear before your eye.

A gentle rustle, a feathered hello,
A little moment to treasure and know.
For here at Burn Cottage Retreat, where peace softly prevails,
Nature comes to visit — in the form of our quails.

So pause, take a moment, and quietly stay…
You never know when our little friends
might wander your way. 🌿🐦✨

Dear Noel and Gill Edwards,

Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality during our stay. As promised, I've attached the Milky Way photos we took near your property on the night of 29 September. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed capturing them.

We had a fantastic stay at Burn Cottage Retreat. The apartment was exceptionally comfortable, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully decorated. We especially appreciated how well-equipped everything was.

We have also left a review on Booking.com and were happy to give top marks in every category.

Thank you also for letting us experience a little bit of farm life this morning. Feeding the sheeps, spending time with your lovely dog, and chatting with both of you were highlights of our trip. We truly enjoyed our conversations and appreciated your friendliness, warmth, and local insights. Meeting you made our stay even more memorable

Thank you again for everything. We wish you, your family, and all your animals the very best.

Warm Regards
Yang & Joel

Remember when we hinted that we’d been working on something new and exciting over the winter? ✨

Well… the secret is finally out. 🛁

Introducing a little extra luxury at Rascal Cottage — our brand-new outdoor bath.

Picture this… warm bubbles, a glass of local red w**e resting on the end of the bath, the stars twinkling overhead and the gentle sound of the creek trickling beside you.
The perfect place to slow down, unwind and simply enjoy the moment.

A little luxury. A little romance. And an experience that makes your stay at Burn Cottage Retreat even more special. ✨

This is the Rascal experience.

Come, relax, soak and stay awhile. 🌙🍷

The curious tūī, dressed in black,
With a snowy tuft upon its neck,
Hops through the garden, bold and bright,
From dawn's first song to fading light.

It peeks in windows, checks each flower,
And visits feeders every hour.
With whistles, clicks, and melodies sweet,
It turns each garden into a treat.

Here at Burn Cottage Retreat, they love to stay,
Visiting our feeders throughout the day.
A clever character, full of cheer,
Bringing a little magic to guests who are here. 🖤🌿🐦✨

Winter at Burn Cottage Retreat is all about embracing the season—without feeling the cold.

Step inside and you'll be greeted by the glow of your own gas fire, lit and waiting for your arrival, ensuring your cottage is beautifully warm and welcoming from the moment you walk through the door.

Wrap yourself in one of our luxurious rugs, settle in front of the fire, and pour a glass of Central Otago Pinot Noir. The only thing left to do is relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.

And if you ask nicely, we may even have a pot of mulled w**e simmering away for you...

Winter escapes don't get much cosier than this. ❄️🔥🍷
