MARAMA COTTAGE 2bdrm country charm — home away from home 15 min to CBD

Welcome to Marama Cottage— our slice of heaven. We love watching the seasons transition on our small organic farm. Come visit our animals, have some farm fresh eggs, and try some world class walnuts. At ours, you are only 15 mins from the city but feel like you are worlds away from it all. With 2 cozy bedrooms that comfortably sleep up to 6, toys for the kids, tv, free wifi, laundry, and all the amenities you could need taken care of, staying with us is truly like finding a home away from home.

Family trip

Excellent place to stay. Clean, tidy, quiet and well appointed. Close to hornby and not far from the city on the motorway yet tucked away in the countryside. Great for a family. Highly recommend.

Such a lovely cottage. The hen welcoming committee comes around a few times a day to see how you're doing, which our infant loved. The love triangle of golden pheasantsbdarting to and fro in the yard was also entertaining. As our stay was for a conference in Lincoln, we made ourselves at home, making full use of the kitchen and laundry. The wi-fi and nice kitchen table made working here comfortable, even with a baby in tow. The quirky but sophisticated decor was also a treat -- we tried to figure out what the creatures were on the Anthropologie rug in the kids' bedroom! Highly recommend this nice cottage, which feels quite secluded despite being mere minutes from shops. We felt like we could have lived here for years!
