👋 We've been a little quiet here of late - but don’t worry, we haven’t disappeared!

While we may have been a little absent from social media, we’ve certainly been busy behind the scenes at Burn Cottage Retreat. 🏡✨

Winter has brought some lovely new guests through our doors, and it’s been wonderful to welcome people and share the Retreat with them during the quieter months. ❤️

We’ve also been busy getting everything ready for the warmer months ahead — giving the gardens some love, getting the cottages summer-ready and, of course, making a few plans for what’s next…

🌿☀️ Summer is just around the corner, and we have some changes in store!

So stay tuned… we’ll be sharing more very soon. 👀

We absolutely love receiving such wonderful feedback from our guests. It means so much to us to know that our guests have enjoyed their stay and appreciated the little touches that make Burn Cottage Retreat special. ❤️
Here’s our latest lovely review…

"We had a wonderful nights accommodation this last weekend at Burn Cottage Retreat. The cottage is gorgeous, beautifully presented, exceptionally well appointed and filled with thoughtful touches including a couple of home made biscuits. The quality linen and bedding were especially lovely and made the stay feel genuinely luxurious.

Noel was a wonderful host; friendly, helpful and welcoming. Arriving to find the fire already lit for us was such a thoughtful touch and the perfect start to our weekend.

A beautiful place to stay in Cromwell, and one we would happily recommend and return to"

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 wine simmering away for you...

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

Today marks our final clean for the summer season — and what a season it has been! ☀️✨

From long summer evenings in the gardens to cosy cottage stays, we’ve been so lucky to welcome so many lovely guests through our doors over the past few months.

It’s certainly been a busy season, but one filled with wonderful people, great conversations, and plenty of special memories made here at Burn Cottage Retreat.

A huge thank you to everyone who chose to stay with us this summer — we truly appreciate your support and loved being part of your Central Otago adventures. 💛

Now it’s time to take a breath, enjoy the beautiful autumn colours, and prepare the cottages for the quieter winter months ahead.
