My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect for exploring the area, and the house itself is lovely—warm, welcoming, and well equipped with everything we needed. The spacious living area and well-stocked kitchen made it easy to relax and feel at home. The bedrooms were beautifully presented with very comfortable beds, just what we needed after a busy day out. The property is private and peaceful, surrounded by beautiful gardens. We would definitely stay here again!

A lovely clean and comfy cottage with everything we needed and very kind hosts. We felt very welcome and enjoyed the gardens and space. The area is very well positioned for discovering Northland. Jane and Craig were lovely and even brought my washing in before an unexpected rainstorm. I intend to book the cottage again for my next Northland visit.

A great long stay

We stayed 2 months at Jane and Craig cottage. They were very welcoming and made sure we do not miss anything. We felt almost like home. We appreciated the backyard, the light and the country. There was enought place for the family.

Home away from home

Fantastic cottage with everything we needed, including some games and story books for the kids. Room to kick a ball around, chickens to visit and dogs to play fetch with. Happy memories. We look forward to coming back again one day.

Peace and quiet

The property and surroundings were beautiful. The cottage was neat, clean and equipped with everything needed. To get access to the cottage was effortless. The owners were very friendly. A little piece of heaven to get away from the business of every day life. Thank you for an amazing time.

Great Rural Location Accommodation

The rural property location in central Bay of Islands was ideal for access throughout the North (N,E,S&West). Well presented modern family home with spacious living areas (Kitchen & Lounge). Modern kitchen facilities - whilst no oven that was not an issue. Upstairs bedrooms of more than adequate size. Great place to stay for family of adults.

If you're looking for a clean, quiet place to stay, Waimate Cottage is a great option. It's a lovely rural area, but still close to amenities in the area.

Everything we needed and more

We were visiting friends in the neighbourhood so location was perfect. The beautiful cattle grazing just at the edge of the property certainly added to the charm of it. The property had all we needed for a short stay. It was clean, warm and cozy and the internet was great. It was also great to have Netflix for nights. Jane and Craig were great hosts, very friendly and helpful and their friendly lab Maia was a welcome playmate for our dog. My children were wishing we could stay longer. If we're looking to stay in the neighbourhood again, we will definitely be back.
