Cushchine Cottage is located five minutes from the township of Kaikoura, the sea and the mountains.
The Whale Watch, Dolphin Encounter, and i-Site offices are less than 5 minutes drive, BUT you benefit from being in open countryside, on the very edge of town = PERFECT for a relaxing holiday !!!
Everything on the farm is grown organically. The grounds are spacious and we have many different animals in our Farm Park for the children to play with and hand and bottle-feed. This beautiful cottage has been totally transformed on the inside to make every aspect of your farm holiday memorable.
We've carefully retained many of the original features of the cottage, so it's got an authentic, rustic, traditional feel, BUT with many modern features, eg: we recently installed a NEW shower room and there's a NEW log burner in the lounge.

HERE ARE SOME ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS!
Pricing = our nightly rate includes two guests. All additional guests cost $15 extra, each, per night. Please use the availability checker (below) to confirm your dates and the nightly rate.
Max adults = the Farm Cottage sleeps up to seven + baby, but is best enjoyed by up to four adults in its two bedrooms, plus up to three children + a baby! (We've learnt this through experience - the problems mainly come self-catering in the kitchen and sharing the bathroom!)
Wheelchair access = The Farm Cottage, its garden and our Farm Park are flat and mostly on one level, with the following exceptions: One doorway is too small (lounge to kitchen - there's another route which is ok!) There's one small step down to the bathroom and toilet. One wheelchair family had a special chair for showers which didn't fit through the shower door, despite it being a fairly large NEW shower unit! Obviously, the gardens and our Farm Park get wet and muddy after rain, which would hamper progress in a wheelchair - we don't have many prepared (sealed) paths - sorry!
Babies = We charge $15 per night, because you'll be cooking for, and washing your baby, etc. There's a porta-cot provided in the cottage, but you're welcome to use your own if you prefer (PLEASE let us know if you need bedding?) The charge also includes disposal of your nappies/diepers, which Kaikoura's recycling service now charges us for!
Dogs = you can bring you dog with you, but there are a couple of things to think through... We have 100+ animals in our Farm Park, and most of them free range roam the site. Your dog mustn't be the chase and hassle type. Also, we've two 'entire' collie dogs ourselves, so yours must accept other strange dogs easily! Some cottage guests ask whether dogs have been in the rental cottage, so we don't allow dogs inside - sorry! There's a medium sized dog kennel in the Cottage garden which you're welcome to use.
Check-in = from 1pm Check-out = by 10:30hrs
Transport = if you need picking up or dropping off in town, at any time during your stay with us, we've a 4x4 Land Rover Discovery that'll comfortably seat up to seven! We charge a nominal $15 per trip, per group! (please book in advance)
