Large cottage ideal for couples.

Take this sunny cottage (circa 1870's) set in pleasant garden surrounds; for yourselves, or to share with friends or family. Use it as a base to explore all the attractions that Otago and Southland have to offer; for a quiet weekend away; to relax before, during or after a long bike ride; to enjoy a Lawrence event; to attend a family celebration; for an extended stay!
A quiet, attractive street with an abundance of bird- life by day and you are far enough away from the main thoroughfare for a peaceful sleep at night.
Three double bedrooms, two of them very large, each one with a character of its own, two single mattresses and bedding provided for extra kids at no extra charge; living room with couch and recliners with historic fireplace feature; north facing, sunny front deck with outdoor chairs and table setting, as well as a shady nook for two in the corner.
Covered courtyard area at the back looking out over a landscaped garden setting - perfect for warm summer evening barbecues. Or this can be used as a carport if it is raining.
Fully equipped country kitchen/dining room with all the equipment you need to make anything from a quick getaway breakfast to a full-on feast.
All bedding provided and this includes electric blankets. Heating in each room. Laundry facilities.
Dog friendly, enclosed back yard. No charge for pets and a doggy bed provided. Off street parking. Carport for one vehicle.
Berries, fruit and vegetables in season from the raised garden beds.
WiFi.
Around ten minute stroll to shops and cafes; museum and Isite - all in the historic village of Lawrence, the origin of New Zealand's era of gold.
Around two minute ride from the increasingly popular Clutha Gold bike trail - one of the easiest and most accessible of New Zealand's bike riding network making it perfect for families and the 'not so fit" who love the outdoors. This place is excellent for winding down and sharing experiences before beginning, continuing the ride or heading home.

A step back in time
Loved it! Made it having option of cooking on coal range which we did. Renovations sympathetic to period. Wished we could have stayed longer.

Great Value Old World Charm
Just a one night stay. We enjoyed sunset on the deck, and the interesting garden. We appreciated the fresh coffee beans and the recommendation for Bean Jazzed cafe for breakfast! Wonderful place.

Great location and comfy stay
We really appreciated the comfortable beds and the provision of a well equiped kitchen. The night lights were a thoughtful touch and very useful at night time when getting to the toilet. It would have been helpful to be clear in the listing what heating is offered and that the oven doesnt really work, nor do a couple of elements. We got this information when we asked for it. The location is great and there is room for bikes under shelter and unloading the car is easy with parking close by. The property is quiet and private and the bedrooms are a good size. The main thing that let this property down was the quality of the cleaning. The ktichen floor was dirty as were the outside of the cupboards; there were a lot of cobwebs around the inside as well. Maybe consider changing your cleaning provider to improive this holiday let.

Good location
A tidy cottage in a good location ideal for our overnight stay. We lit the coal range to warm ourselves which made the kitchen cozy but standard heaters supplied would have been inadequate on a cold day. Nice to have 3 queen bedrooms for couples. Surprised no TV which didn't worry us but could concern other guests. Food provisions appreciated. Good luck with the continuing restoration.

Great location and tidy and functional property. Bathroom is adequate but no extractor fan or heater. Kitchen is ok but oven literally doesn't work and hotplates are very temperamental for regulating temp. Some pots do not work at all on the cook top. (elements keep switching off). We got by using BBQ outside. Would benefit from a heat pump or log burner. Plenty of heaters but must cost a small fortune to heat in winter. Overall no major dramas and owner was very helpful. Worked for us as a group of workers in Lawrence for a week but a family might not be so stoked with oven not heating up and other cooking issues mentioned.

Delightful, cosy retreat
We were bright-eyed and restored after a few days at this lovely cottage. It was cosy, easy-care and beautifully-located. Beautiful views of the leafy Lawrence domain from the front rooms and the porch - especially stunning in autumn. Heaters kept the house warm and cosy, even on a cold autumn day. There were suitable spaces for both togetherness and quiet time. The host was lovely to deal with also. The whole experience was just what we had hoped for - the perfect place for a cosy family retreat.

Cute. Well setup with towels, crockery, cooking utensils, pots etc. Sitting out on deck each afternoon with a cool drink, wine and platter was delightful. Heater in lounge very effective for the one night that turned a bit cool. Beds very comfortable. Enjoyed picking some lettuce leaves to go with cheeses etc Ideal place to head off to Roxburgh, Millers Flat which we did.
