The cottage is well equiped and comfortable, clean and peaceful. We loved sitting out on the deck watching the birds. Leona made us welcome with useful edible gifts and was a good communicator. I highly recommended it as a quiet getaway.
What a fantastic place in a quiet rural area. Spacious with a comfortable bed and restful vistas. My only regret is I didn’t factor in more time to sit on the deck and read my book. Leona was an excellent host

Great cottage arrived to a warm and very cosy, a note with little treats, beautiful clean well looked after, in a great spot no faults perfect. Would definitely recommend to others .😁
We had a fantastic stay with all we needed at hand. The location was good for as with family in Tauranga and wanting to be away at the same time. Close to Waihi Beach where we enjoyed a couple of meals. Only 5 or so mins from Katikati for any shopping needs or the farmers market
This lovely cottage is great at anytime of the year. We have been in several different seasons and it is always warm, well equipped and peaceful and relaxing. Thank you Leona for being a wonderful host.
