Neil and Robyn from Brisbane
Aprile is an excellent host. Her garden is lovely and she had a vase of freshly cut flowers at the end of the hall. That was one of many special extras. Tae Cottage is spacious and suited us very well. The warmers were great (cold for us Queenslanders at around 8 to 12 overnight lows). We would happily stay at Tae Cottage if we were ever back in this quiet and lovely area.
Response from Owner
Thank you Neil. I appreciate your comments and am glad you enjoyed your stay. A shame the weather wasn’t the best whilst here. Welcome back to stay again any time. Thank you 😊
Judy Lloyd

Response from Owner
Hi Judy and Lindsay. Thank you so much for your lovely comment both here and in the guest book. Glad you enjoyed your stay, but was such a shame that it rained so much while you were here. It was so lovely to meet you both and I do hope that you come back again and stay some time. All the best. Aprile

Great to be back in lovely Tae Cottage and to catch up with Aprile. We highly recommend this wee cottage which is comfortable and cosy. Also situated in a quiet location but central to exploring the area around Timaru. Paul and Sue
