Araluen Cottage

A beautiful home reflecting the historic charm of the town along with modern facilities made for a very enjoyable stay, Julie is a most welcoming host.

Nothing.

I loved everything !! This was my first time renting a room and going on a road trip by myself and I was really nervous but Julie was so warm and welcoming which was amazing ! The house is IMMACULATE and seriously beautiful! I loved being there and felt so safe. I can’t express how amazing staying in Julie’s whare was. I will definitely book again if I go back to Waihi. Everything was clean and tidy. The bed was comfy and so warm. The whole house was amazing beyond words. Julie is so kind and generous. She welcomed me into her whare with open arms and sent me off on my way when I was leaving. She is genuinely amazing and I’m very grateful to have stayed with her. 100/10 would recommend

Every comfortable great host

Host is very accommodating. Would love to go back.

We provided our own breakfast. The term ‘bed and breakfast’ is often a misrepresentation of what is provided in AirBNB accommodation. Not that in this case it mattered, we came prepared. We had the full use of kitchen facilities. We were invited into the cosy living room after returning from a meal, which was very nice of our hostess and her partner.

No complaints- everything was fine.

Host was lovely. Pretty homely house with quiet surrounds.

I wished the heaters were on as it was very cold. I should have asked for them to be turned on. I mentioned it in the morning as owner happy to do that next time.

Gracious and welcoming host. The room was clean and cosy, would definitely book again!

The house is a tastefully modernised villa in a nice quiet setting. Julie is an excellent host and made sure I was comfortable throughout. As Araluen Cottage is near the fringe of the township, it was so nice waking up to hear birdsong outside.
