The private house and garden are beautifully presented. Underfloor heating and plenty of firewood made for a cosy stay in cold weather. Everything you need is here. Quality bedding and furnishings, numerous books plus a fully equipped kitchen.A 15 min walk to General Store and Coffee but you probably wont want to leave this lovely home in delightful Naseby.

Gorgeous winter getaway

Loved this warm, beautifully restored cottage. Full of amazing detail and character in a scenic and peaceful location. The alpacas, kune kune pigs and their kitten 'piglet' were a complete bonus! Hope to go back!

More than we expected!

We expected a tiny cottage but this was a roomy cottage. We enjoyed the artwork and artifacts around the house and appreciated the wonderful log burner which warmed the whole house. The kitchen was well designed and had everything that we needed. The kune kune pigs with the cute kitten who seemed to live with them were a bonus. We would have liked to have met our hosts or spoken to them - they were obviously interesting people. We live in Otago and plan to revisit in the spring to check out the garden (and the pigs).

Very relaxing.

Carrowmore House is everything it's made out to be. Beautifully presented. Such a choice of rooms and decks to relax in. Finish each day with a wine on the front verandah in the last of the sun. Everything you could need is there.
