Cutest little cottage

This very cute little cottage is a great get away from the city. Quiet and peaceful. Friendly owners who popped in to say hello. Homemade cookies to welcome us and breakfast of cereals provided. The outdoor bathroom didn’t bother us but the weather was great…might have been different if it was raining.

Quiet and relaxing stay

We enjoyed our overnight stay at Kate and Jake's home. Upon arrival, we were greeted by their very friendly horse, which immediately set a lighthearted mood. The room is small, but it has everything we needed. The sun's rays from the sunset and the sunrise hit the veranda just right, and we were able to spend a lovely evening and morning just chilling, listening to nature all around.Thank you for sharing your space, Kate and Jake!

Great location

I stayed here for two nights in February 2023 after the cyclone, so no power and many road slips. However Kate was very friendly and accommodating. It's a great spot overlooking farm/grazing land, and hard to believe only a few minutes from Whangārei. I would stay here again.

Rustic cabin in rural setting

Cabin was exceptionally clean, hosts were welcoming. Aged in our 70’s we were not so keen on having to go outside to use the bathroom, although it too was very clean. Overnight rain made the journey to have a shower a little awkward.
