Read what some of our guests have said about staying at Driftwood Cottages.

It maybe off the beaten track but everyone should beat a track here. A true jewel in the Gem that's Hawke's Bay.

This cottage has been so well thoughtout - it is a credit to you both (Rachel & John). Nothing has been left out and the quality is there for all to see. To add to all this you get your own pet dog (Zac) - as dog lovers a magical touch. I can recommend the marinated steak, radish salad and lime tart! Stunning. Above and beyond the call of duty - John even brought in our washing (and folded it) when it started to rain. We can recommend the Gannet Colony as an enjoyable trip. Many thanks, this was a great find.

Dear Rachel & John
Thank you for creating such a warm comfortable and complete "Home Away From Home" here at "Driftwood Cottages". Your thoughtful preparation is apparent in every detail, from the carefully chosen local food... to the conveniences that make traveling easy and pleasant. We really appreciated the opportunity to do our laundry. Having a dog to pet was an unexpected bonus! (Our son's name is Zac, too!)
Staying in your "Starfish Cottage" will always be a special part of our memories of New Zealand!
Thank you for your hospitality

As fairly seasoned travellers this is undoubtedly the best appointed and best catered accommodation we have encountered. We wanted for nothing here. The location is ideal and in no small measure due to Rachel and John's hospitality. We had an enjoyable and memorable time here at Driftwood Cottages.

We were made to feel very welcome at Driftwood. Lots of creature comforts and thoughtful supplies were left to make sure we wanted for nothing. The raspberries were delicious and the breakfast more enjoyable for knowing it was all local produce. I'm just upset we didn't have time to try one of Rachel's evening meals. A real rest in the country.
Thank you

Delightful Driftwood Cottages! Fab food! Thanks for your thoughtfulness. We appreciated the diversity of tasty local produce and we loved our gluten-free fruit bread. Internet wireless - fantastic! Hot water and pressure to burn! Wonderful! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Starfish and have already begun to spread the good word about you.
Thanks so much.

A wonderful 12 day stay here at Driftwood Cottages in the "Starfish". We have enjoyed the house, the garden and the fabulous hospitality. Tip-top quality on everything will undoubtedly serve the place and its guests well through the future!! All the best.
