Mountain and valley views

Soak up the views during your stay.
Our 2018-new cottage is on its own site on our sheep & beef farm, The Gullies.

New Zealand art & design, vintage furniture, quality linen help make this house a home for your stay, as well as the views! Check us out on FB or Insta - the.gullies.cottage

Explore 60 ha of native bush on farm, or give the farm tracks a go on your mountain bike.

Just 10 min from Marton, 40 min each way to Whanganui or Palmerston North- The Cottage is ideally situated for adventures & events all round the region.

The space
While we prefer 4 guests for your maximum comfort, we are more than happy to welcome up to 6 people, with the 6th person staying free (simply select '5 guests' when booking and let us know after booking there will be a 6th person joining you).

Our third bedroom also houses a small table, so those needing some space to work while relaxing can do so. WiFi is easy to access for your use.

We have a short menu of 'heat and eat' or 'prepped' dinners just requiring cooking that can be pre-ordered with dietary requirements catered to with ease. Details provided after booking upon request.

A full kitchen is available in The Cottage as well as a Weber BBQ and brazier for toasting marshmallows.

While we are working on limited mobility access, at this stage we cannot offer accommodation to those with limited mobility.

Guest access
The Cottage is on its own property on our farm: you'll have entire use of the house.

Other things to note
We are more than happy for non-crawling babies to stay at The Cottage and can provide a lightweight Phil'n'Ted's portacot and almost anything baby-related you may require including a Mountain Buggy farm pram and an Ergobaby frontpack: but apart from those younger babies, we advise The Cottage is not suitable for children.

From the host

MOOMAA Cafe and Design Store (SH1, Marton) and Four Doors Down (Broadway, Marton) are our coffee spots of choice close by. If exploring the region, we will happily share all our hotspots from Whanganui to Foxton Beach to Palmy and up to Ohakune!

Wanting to pack in as much as you can? Whanganui River, Turoa Skifields, Te Apiti Windfarm and Foxton Beach will see you cover all four corners of the region with plenty to see and experience, with The Cottage at the heart of it all. Art galleries, golf courses, craft breweries, day spas, farm gate produce, museums, national sports events: you'll just need to work out how to prioritise during your stay!

Those just needing time out, The Cottage is set up for just that. In the warmer months, you'll also be welcome to use our pool, so pack your swimwear! We'll provide you with a map of the farm and you're welcome to just enjoy at your leisure during daylight hours.
