Overall Ratings & Reviews Cottages on St Andrews

It is pet friendly and lovely to see the animals out the window. It was neat clean and tidy,but some maintenance requirements were quite visible.

Beware ! It was a hot day when we arrived , no air conditioning . Nobody there to greet us. Open windows with bugs coming in , no window screens. No climate control or AC was very upsetting and uncomfortable . We left after 1 night, hard to sleep. Small shower in bathroom. We only stayed 1 night out of 2. I would hope for a refund of 1 night

Amazing place for our holiday. Most lovely thing is the owner do a little booklet by themselves to introduce attractive place nearby. Hightly recommend to wine lovers, as the location is easy to go.

Nice setting, pet friendly. Awesome service and location

Great property set on quiet rural grounds. Very clean. Great for kids. Close to shops and restaurants. We are a family of 4 with 2 young kids who loved the pool, the animals and the toys/playground. We didn't feel like we had to be out sightseeing all the time as the kids were largely entertained at the accommodation. It was nice and safe so we didn't feel the need to supervise them at all times either. So it was lovely and relaxing for Mum and Dad! The hosts were lovely and very accommodating too.

The only thing that put us off was the welcoming on arrival was less than warm. Everything else was great. Fabulous for families; terrific, clean pool, wonderful farm animals, quiet, very close to a great restaurant "Off the tracks ". Would definitely recommend it. Very clean.

I am not a fussy person, I have given 5 star reviews to 3 star properties IF I feel that they provide outstanding value for money. That is definitely not the case with this property however. We stayed in a 2 bedroom family cottage for 2 nights for $340 a night so I had reasonable expectations. First the positives: The beds were comfortable so we slept well, the pool was great (being the middle of summer) and the setting was nice. Now the negatives: For a "family" cottage, at that price, I would expect an oven, possibly a dishwasher (at least a dish drawer) and even a washing machine and clothes dryer. I stay in apartments all across NZ and the world and have these amenities in my room, for a lesser price than this. The shower head was filthy, caked in mold and clearly had not been cleaned in a long time. It was not a nice experience to shower under that! Then there were more minor gripes, like the saucepan handles being loose and felt unsafe to hold with hot liquid in them, the bedside lamps didn't appear to have switches on them (not obviously anyway). Upon checkout there was no one to be found to discuss these issues, let alone pay the account. I had to pay it online after I left the property. For $340 a night I would not stay here again.

Loved the animals and playground for my son. Great place to relax.

Lovely quiet location but close to shops & restaurants. A wonderful place to stay with young kids.

I read reviews before I book and hope for the best. St Andrews Cottages was a lovely surprise. The cottage was clean, private, and self contained on a beautiful five acre property. I only wish we could have stayed longer. I highly recommend these cottages!

Awesome place, has a country setting just on edge of town and felt like home away from home. Great for families especially with young children as has friendly animals that they can pat, and also great swimming pool. Will make it my first choice of place to stay next year when down that way.

I stayed here for business. Absolutely loved the farm animals and got to feed the lambs. So quiet and peaceful. Room was very comfortable and clean.

Pleasant stay, neat location as it is quiet and well located for getting around.

We had a great time, tidy and comfortable with space to move and facilities for the kids. Friendly hosts and a tranquil spot in a great location.

Sent me a bill saying I had not paid my bill but had paid for it back in April!!!!!

Pleasant surroundings, however the blinds did not shut properly and as I was travelling alone I did not feel secure. Had some issues with water temperature jumping from hot to cold.

Great location. Friendly hosts. Great for kids. Excellent facilities and accomodation.

Several cottages on 5 acres this is a lovely setting with alpaca and goats grazing nearby. The studio was immaculate and extremely well appointed well beyond the usual motel or hotel standards. I would happily stay again. Excellent value.

What a fabulous place! A lovely private and quiet place on the outskirts of Havelock North. The studio unit was very comfortable with lovely fittings. My son loved the pool, the trampoline and the playground....but especially feeding the goats! Highly recommended.

Great place to stay. Modern day living on a farm setting 5 mins away from the main town centre & central location to all the tourist activities. Kids absolutely loved it. Definitely coming back & staying longer on our next trip.
