Dylan's cottage accommodation is only five minutes from central Kaikoura, 2.5 hours drive from Christchurch and 2 hours drive from the Picton ferries.

Your own private, self contained cottage set amongst the wonderful flower and display gardens of Lavendyl. Our chickens enjoy being fed any leftovers you may have and our sheep love to be hand fed bread and fruit! Tim, the ram, will stand all day while he is getting petted.

The cottages have many quaint touches such as stairs and beds hand made from macrocarpa grown on the property. Both cottages have kitchenettes where simple meals can be prepared. The bedroom is mezzanine style with a sofa bed in the lounge.

The Kowhai Cottage contains a spa bath and a Queen and a Single Bed (upstairs) and a Double foldout settee in the lounge/dining area. The balcony off the bedroom has stunning views to Mt Fyffe.

French Doors open from the lounge to the garden, bringing indoor/outdoor experience New Zealand is famous for.

The Mahoe Cottage adjoins a classic bush outdoor garden bathroom area of it's own with both a bath and shower.

The queen bedroom of Mahoe Cottage (upstairs) opens through French Doors on to its own private balcony. There is a foldout settee (double) downstairs in the lounge/dining area for extra guests or children.
