About this property

Laneway cottage

At Laneway cottage you will be woken by birdsong rather than traffic noise. Enjoy the expansive view with your morning coffee. Then rest, work from home quietly on your laptop, or take a 5min walk down the lane to the reserve and river. Your local activities are also minutes away as the house is only 10min drive from Central Tauranga, Bethlehem village, and the growing Tauranga Crossing area.
While Laneway cottage is not ostentatious on the outside it is very cute and comfortable inside.

Cosy and welcoming. Perfect for a home base.

Lovely to hang out and enjoy the view and walk the river reserve but equally easy to lock and leave and enjoy Tauranga

Heaven on Earth

Laneway Cottage is the most special spot I have come across from all my years of travel both within New Zealand and abroad. The owner is extremely easy to deal with and her standards of property care are of international standard.Laneway Cottage has a unique aura that captivated every one of my senses. From the stunning bird sounds to the spectacular view and proximity to a magical river and swimming spot I can't wait to return to this special retreat of magic. The cottage itself has everything required for a weeks stay and is impeccably furnished and clean. I can't wait to return. Thankyou Karen.

Stay

We could not find it! No number given and no signage either. Could not get anyoneby phone. Luckily we found alternative accommodation. Owner of property not impressed with way bookabach did their write up. She was v apologetic.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Sept 2024
I'm grateful Frances and her husband found an alternative and we sorted this out amicably. Unfortunately, the first I knew of the problem was from the neighbours at 9pm. But Bookabach were helpful that night and I've added the street number to the information they send. Subsequent bookings have all gone very well.
