This was our second visit to the cottage. Such a lovely spot for a little get away. We love the view, privacy and facilities that the cottage offers. The cottage is small and compact but has absolutely everything that you need. We nave decided that we will have to be sure to come back annually :)

Stayed in the wonderful Swiss-Kiwi retreat on new year eve - after a scary 2 hour torrential rain drive from Auckland airport, my partner and I arrived to a wonderful welcome from our lovely hosts who took us straight to the incredible hot tub to relax and unwind after the drive. Thank you for being so wonderfully welcoming. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway

When tried to respond to manager the Stayz website just returned a “too many http redirects” error. So would not have been able to communicate with them. Not a problem for the property but for stayz.

We stayed for 5 nights and could not have asked for anything more! Kris went out of her way to make sure you had everything you needed and if you didnt need anything, you had your privacy on their beautiful property. A very special place that we are very grateful to have stayed at.
