We had just the most amazing 12 days while we were at this Bach! It was down to earth and comfortable, which pretty much suited us perfectly! It was in a great location so that we could explore the area really well! I managed to mix up a little home cooking to compliment visits to the local cafes and pubs which all served excellent meals! A HUGE thank you to Cory and Sophie not only for your friendliness, but for always being available to meet any needs we had!

We met Katie on arrival, she was very accommodating and gave us a tour around the property. The size and layout of the accommodation suited us well and we enjoyed the fireplace. Great location between Collingwood and Farewell Spit with only a 30 minute drive to Wharariki Beach which was one of our highlights. Note - this is not a standalone cottage, it is joined with more accommodation. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend staying here. ##### Juliette F. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Yvonne N. 2 Oct 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Private Pakawau retreat This studio apartment is set in luscious native bush. There are other cottages and a house on the property but each is private and secluded. The cold stone floors throughout the studio are a bit of a drawback in the colder days and nights and wheelchair access bathroom makes the lower level facilities awkward at times but do not deter from the pleasant overall comfort. A small, discreet TV screening/or a radio would be helpful for those with devices or unable to read.Highly recommended for all travellers. Nga mihinui. ##### Yvonne N. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2020
