Absolutely loved it!!😊

Beautiful place. We stayed at Sue's place with our kids and had the best serene experience.Sue and Mark are the most thoughtful host. The cottage stay is quite comfortable with the stunning views of the mountains and the sea view. It always felt so nice to get away from the rush of the Auckland city and to be in a place blended well with the nature.We walked up and down the Kauri mountain view point and was mesmerized by the scenic beauty of the place.The kitchen contained everything we need. Bed is cozy and comfortable and the bathroom is clean and nice.Overall, a very tidy and lovely cottage equipped with everything you need. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay. Thank you Sue and Mark.

Magnificent Views

We stayed 2 nights, loved the space - in the cottage, and outside with the magnificent wide views. Such a beautiful part of NZ. We walked up and down Kauri Mountain, and enjoyed the quiet. Mark and Sue are great hosts, left us to ourselves :) Thank you for a lovely stay.

A place one would feel like coming back to

Mark and Sue, what a duo! They were so gracious and thoughtful with the whole set-up. The cottage was lovely and tidy and equipped with everything you would ideally require. The place was top-notch with an amazing view, couldn’t be any better. Our stay was incredible and would highly recommend this place to everyone reading this review. :)
