I have stayed at Protea Cottage a handful of times now and it’s always been an amazing experience, this time was no exception. The cottage itself is very cozy, comfortable and full of personality. However the highlight is me is the beautiful tract of native bush which follows the stream running down the valley, full of friendly native birds, it is an absolute joy to explore and reconnect with our nature. I’ve never been anywhere else quite like it. Highly recommend to all nature lovers and those seeking a break from the fast pace of daily life. Thank you Tom and Glynis for creating this slice of paradise

Recomiendo hospedarse en la casa de Tom y su esposa. La vista desde el balcón es increíble. El entorno; plantado y creado por ellos durante muchos años, es muy natural y de mucha variedad tanto de flora como de los pájaros que allí habitan. Compartimos charlas, comidas y alguna bebida. La bañera exterior fue de los puntos altos para mi y mis amigos. Personas muy atentas que ademas nos despidieron con un regalo a cada uno. Ya lo he recomendado a otros amigos. Excelente lugar para relajarse y desconectarse.

This is a great place to stay if you want to be in nature - had a tūī feeding on the deck - a beautiful spot and handy to Akaroa!! Loved our stay here - Thanks so much Tom

If you are looking for a place that is unique and delightfully quirky, in the most beautiful bush surrounds, you will love Toms place. The only challenge here is the drive way, but Tom helps you out with that. Wonderful hosts.

The place is excellent for a serene, quiet getaway with a lot of thought and ingenuity put into its construction and decor. Lots of Tuis to watch all day. Tom is an excellent host with years of hosting experience and a wealth of knowledge on the local fauna and birds. Hope to stay again in the future!
