Relaxing private bush retreat Cottage Rustigue

The cottage is surrounded by rimu trees, native bush and ferns. It is well away from the main house and has its own driveway, so you have total privacy. Perfect for a romantic weekend away, or for a family to enjoy. We offer massages onsite on request - send us a message for more info:)
