    So quaint and homely. Out of town enough to feel like you’re away but close enough to pop out if you need to. Gail was so lovely and accommodating and nice to deal with. Yummy free range eggs for brekkie.

Gail and Peter Isaac
Nestled in a large half acre of tree-filled garden, Bumblebee Cottage in its rural setting is fully fenced, romantic, practical and charming. Birdsong fills the air. The flat countryside and sealed road invite walks and biking. We have fully equipped the kitchen with pantry basics as well. The house was built for purpose in 2005. It is as close to a home as it can be, with good linen supplied, comfortable new furniture, in an antique setting. We focus on all aspects of our guests' comfort, warmth and serenity. Large lawns for parking under trees,, sky tv, Netflix and wifi and a bath with shower over. We supply many extra toiletries and items people need when away from home. Even toothpaste and toothbrushes, cleansing items, bath gels, extra tissues and headache remedies. In the 20 years we have been in business we can happily state we have only had positive feedback from our guests, many of whom return over and over. Cosy and cute, yet practical and comfortable. Our cute freerange hens supply eggs but are forbidden to enter the cottage! They supply wonderful eggs and are pretty friendly.
Gail tries to welcome our guests personally but Peter and I regard your privacy when visiting as absolutely paramount. However we will be there should you need us in any way, any time.
Greytown is a vibrant little town and you need only to google it to see what delights it contains. We are 5 minutes away by car so you can't really walk into town.
