We recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming cottage nestled in the bush, and we can't recommend it enough! Pam was a fantastic host. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed with a basket filled with goodies, setting the perfect tone for our getaway.Each morning, we enjoyed fresh free-range eggs from the property, fresh herbs from the garden which added a delicious touch to our breakfasts and salads at dinner time.One of the highlights was definitely the hydrotherapy spa, which was the ultimate indulgence! Soaking in the warm waters while listening to the birds was a blissful experience.With all the amenities you could need and the tranquility of the bush surrounding you, this cottage is the perfect retreat for anyone looking to escape and unwind. We are already planning our return! ##### Jose T. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin H. 26 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peace and tranquillity... Plum Tree Cottage will exceed any reasonable expectations.It is not large, but it is very well laid out, and was comfortable for the two of us and a small dog, with plenty of space and storage for our 7 day stay. This is more than an an average batch in the bush. The quality of the building, fit-out, facilities, maintenance, and attention to smallest details was impeccable, and the ever changing view across the manuka and wetlands to the Mangawhai estuary and hills beyond made the stay special. The special touches like the hotel quality linen and towels, infinity hot water and high-spec shower, the wide and plentiful selection of teas and coffee options and much more were much appreciated. The quality spa pool is like new, perfectly maintained and ready to use any time. Our hosts were very respectful of our privacy, helpful and friendly, and always available by phone for questions or recommendations.We highly recommend Plum Tree Cottage - whatever you might expect, you will be happily surprised. ##### Martin H.
