Cottages

Once upon a time, an intrepid traveller came upon a cottage in the woods, and when no one answered her knocks, she simply went in. She helped herself to the food and the cosy beds, then ran away when she was discovered. Recognise the story? Yeah, Goldilocks was kind of rude. Don’t be like Goldilocks. Book a cottage getaway on lastminute.co.nz instead, and get your kicks legally.

When you’ve got budget-friendly cottage accommodation, you can spend your cash on more important things: rosé and avocado toast. And because many cottages have full kitchens and other self-catering amenities, you don’t even have to go anywhere to have the best brunch ever. “Bed hair, don’t care” is your motto this holiday—just throw on your slippers and stumble out to the kitchen. Who do you have to impress, anyway? Your friends have seen you in much worse states than this.

Yes, cottages are big enough to be perfect for that impromptu getaway with the gang. But if you’re on a romantic getaway with that special someone you “swiped right” for, you might want to make a little more effort. But if you’re comfortable enough to take a cottage holiday with this person, you might as well let them see you without your hair did.

We’ve got accommodation that’s dressed to impress, and selections that are completely casual. We have cheap country cottages, and ones with a B&B feel, and totally secluded retreats. Whatever you need, lastminute.co.nz has it. Not too hot, not too cold—we’re sure you’ll find one that’s just right.
