The property could do with a deep clean. The shower was cold and the bathroom floor needs replacing. On the positive side, the property has lovely views and is in a peaceful quiet location.

Unable to stay at this property for 2 nights as wrong address given on original Wotif internet page. This Accommodation found on day 2 and did not look as though they were expecting us, even though we has a 2 night booking. (Beds unmade,sheets and duvet on wash line). Owner confirmed that they were not expecting us. He part-refunded us for 1 night’s accommodation. This spoilt our holiday as at 4pm we had to find alternative accommodation in a place where there is no accommodation. As we had to pay for 2 nights substitute accommodation, and have been partially refunded for 1 night only, we would appreciate you giving this your urgent attention.Kind regards Penny

Miranda country stay

This is a fantastic property. looking out over the Thames estuary. Perfect for young families as the kids get to interact with the owners pets and collect the eggs! If your just looking for a few quiet days away from the big smoke this place is perfect. The property is exceptionally well maintained and the owner could not be more accommodating or helpful.

A bird watching weekend in paradise 26/7/24-28/7/24

This beautifully appointed cottage, next to Barry the owners home, has everything and more, than you could ever need. The view from the cottage is over rural farm land and out to the Shorebird Coast, Firth of Thames and the Coromandel ranges beyond. The moment I arrived from central Auckland I felt myself start to relax. Barry was very friendly and helpful. A definite bonus for me was his late mother's NIV Bible, which I found in my bedside draw the evening I arrived. The cottage is fully accessible for wheelchair users. We were able to heat it easily with the heaters provided. We feel in love with the place and will definitely be back again. Thanks Barry for making our 21st Wedding Anniversary awesome.

Peaceful Time Out

It was wonderful to get away from the busyness of Auckland life and spend a weekend in a peaceful and serene environment. Beautiful outlook looking over the Thames Firth, water and farmland. Barry was super helpful and there's even the added bonus of fruit trees! Loved every moment and will be back.
