My partner and I stayed here in February and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. If you want immaculate, cosy accommodation coupled with endless personal touches, then this is definitely the place to stay! We stayed in the Mahoe lodge which was absolutely gorgeous - we would highly recommend the outdoor shower and spa bath, it was just so relaxing!! Corry was Jan... More

We arrived at Lavendyl farm after traveling for about 36 hrs nonstop. for our first night in NZ. Jan and Corry were so welcoming, the well equipped cabin was very comfortable and the home baked bread and cakes together with the fresh eggs each morning made this a wonderful start to the holiday. The bathroom was awash with Lavender products... More

We stayed in Kowhai Cottage at Lavendryl Farm in Kaikoura for 3-nights in March during a tour of New Zealand. We had booked via the internet a number of months in advance of our visit and I chose Kowhai Cottage as it is a little bit bigger than Mahoe Cottage and we felt we needed a bit of space after...

We spent the two nights at Dylans Country Cottages in a comfortable cottage full of character and well equipped for self-catering, set in the manicured gardens of a lavender farm. Corry was a very friendly host and the fresh eggs and freshly baked bread and muffins waiting for us at breakfast each morning were a real treat! Dylan`s Country Cottages... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at Dylan's for two nights at the end of our NZ holiday and had a great time. Situated on a Lavender farm, the gardens are immaculate with lots of lavender based natural products to buy in the shop if you wish. As for the cottages, it was great to stay in our own cottage to...

We had the best stay of our trip here, in Lavendyl in the Kowhai cottage. The cottage is perfect, there is a nice smell of lavender, everything is spotless. we were provided lavender products and could enjoy a spa bath with them, it was bliss. the surroundings are just amazing, relaxing, in between the sea and the mountains.

Our second stay at the lavender farm and didn't want to leave again. We stayed in the Mahoe Cottage with the outside bath. There is a shower in the cottage if you prefer but highly recommend a soak in the bath with lots of lavender water, the bath is very private and surrounded by thick bushes. Some delicious home made... More

We stayed for 1 night and had to leave early in the morning. Wish we could stay more as this place is amazing. The Lavender was in full blossom and the farm is so tidy and beautiful with the mountains view. The cottage is cute but a bit small for 5 people as once the sofa is opened to a... More
