Beautiful wee spot.

We had a wonderful stay. Even though it was short, the tranquility, superb hosts, and outdoor bath made us feel recharged and relaxed.

Cute clean studio that was private from the main house. It had everything we needed, whilst we were in and out attending a weekend of festivities. Another advantage is that it's situated on the town belt - so you're immersed in nature whilst also being very close to the CBD.

Great cottage in the country

Lovely friendly hosts made sure our stay was great. Loved all the artwork on display in the cottage. If you are wanting a peaceful quiet time away this is the place. Would definitely come back

Very handy to Otaki - quiet wee place. Super clean - bed could be better ( noisy rolling over by yourself) plus some warm sheets would be great! Lovely gardens if you have time to view.Perhaps overpriced for what it is. Still I’d recommend:-)

You would need a vehicle to explore area.

Cutlery and crockery supplied but no table and chairs to dine at and no washing up facility. Found beds too low.

One night stay

The room was lovely and the outside area was nice and quite. The single bed was too low for me as I have problems with my knees, but my friend and I swatted beds which was not the best for us as she is older than I, but can get up easer. Other than that the manager was the best and helped as much as she could.

Unwind and soak

Lovely little place. Quiet and clean - perfect for a weekend escape from the kids. If the weather allows, we totally recommend asking your fabulous hosts to set up the outdoor bath tub for you in the evening. Our candlelight soak next to a crackling bon fire, listening to ruru and pukeko calling on a still night was wonderful!

Not a ‘cottage house’ as described.

The description as a cottage house is extremely misleading. A house has all you need, there was no kitchen, no laundry. Pitiful ‘kitchenette’ had no teaspoons, one soup spoon for us to share to eat our breakfast, plunger coffee, no plunger, no instant coffee as an alternative, no milk. Watch out for the fridge, it will tip off it’s tiny shelf as you open the door. No dining table or chairs. Garden quite unkempt now, not like photos. It’s better described as a 2 room sleepout with ensuite, kettle and toaster.

We enjoyed our stay. The bach was clean, the setting nice and we enjoyed the outdoor bath. There was tea and coffee but no milk and no sharp knife. I would suggest a bit more thought be given to this as there's no kitchen.
