What our guests had to say

Brilliant execution! We had two cottages with friends and family. It’s a gorgeous location. It has been very thoughtfully planned and built. This made our stay a real pleasure - it’s far from a standard, “beige” holiday rental. We left some personal items in a drawer and...

We loved staying at The Cottages Lake Hayes. Well appointed with beautiful art, comfortable bed, and a well-appointed kitchen area. We stayed in cottage Moke, named after a lake in the area. The color scheme was to our taste, as each cottage has its own identity. Loved the location just below...

A Wonderful stay We had high expectations of the cottages from word of mouth recommendations and they did not disappoint. Very tastefully furnished, high quality everything throughout and fantastic attention to detail, a very luxurious stay and one we highly recommend.

Perfection Words can’t describe how perfect our 3 nights were in the “Moke” cottage. From the breathtaking views, to the amazing interior and exterior design of the cottage. Hands down the most perfect accommodation we’ve ever stayed in. We’ll be back again...

Luxurious accommodation overlooking Lake Hayes We had a delightful five stay at the cottages. They are very well appointed with two equally comfortably bedrooms. A great kitchen if you want to cook and a cosy living area with a potbelly which gave out incredible heat. Amazing views over Lake Hayes.

Great views from the hot tub! The cottages are in a beautiful setting and are super clean and well-kept. The art by NZ artists adds to the ambiance as does some classic pieces of furniture. Sitting in the hot tub you get great views of Lake Hayes. It is 2min onto the walking trail around the...
