Great location, great house, great hosts

We stayed in Hawera on our way to Wellington. The hosts were great, the house clean and fully accommodated for us to have a great rest. It was such a great, classic farm house that lifted our spirits after staying in motels.

We enjoyed our one night stay. Unfortunately the weather didn't let us get a good look at the mountain, but that's obviously outside the hosts' control.

We visited NZ for the first time and staying at this cottage was truly the highlight of our entire trip. We had the best sleep in the comfortable, quiet, and spacious bedroom. The windows open to different views, including the host’s beautiful rose garden and the majestic Mount Taranaki. Kelly and Christina were warm, thoughtful, and made us feel completely at home. Highly recommended!

This place was amazing. We loved the view of the volcano and the cleanliness of the accommodations. The host was spectacular. We needed to wash some of our clothes and the host offered to wash them for us. I would definitely recommend this place and wished we could’ve stayed longer.
