Kakariki Rooms, Kotare House

We liked the seclusion, the great views, the arty feel. Convenient to both Matakana and the Tawharanui Regional Park.

Lovely property with a cosy feel - fantastic hosts

The location was a perfect start to our Northland journey of memories We liked everything about Kotare House especially our Kakariki Room which had stupendous views out over the ocean and bush and one of the most comfortable beds we have slept in. The art works were amazing and a real point of difference which helps make Kotare House stand out for us. That and the conversation we had with our hosts about the "Kiwi Bridge"

The location was stunning, up on a hill with a view of the ocean on one side, and a large valley of native forest on the other. A kaka (parrot) landed in the trees near us as we were checking in! The space itself was stunning, much larger and nicer than we had expected. We also had a couple of bedroom options that night given that we were the only guests. The hosts Brian and Alysn were lovely people, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They offered use of beach towels, sunshades, beach chairs, and basic snorkel equipment - and use of a bbq for cooking. We enjoyed the proximity to Tawharanui Peninsula (highly recommend the nightime Kiwi spotting tour with Kiwiness Tours) and the beaches and hiking in the park. We loved it so much we stayed a second night - and then booked to stay for our last night in NZ before our flight home from Auckland.

The view the property and the location

In the evening it gets really hot I also kept bumping my head as was very little head height due to the angle of the roof .the room smelt a little musty..

Our hosts, Alysn and Brian, were very welcoming. Their property has stunning views and is very peaceful. Every detail had been considered for our comfort, even including robes.

Fantastic location. Great hosts, very helpful.

Nothing all perfect.

Booked accommodation last minute on our honeymoon. Hosts were very lovely and accommodating. Amazing view in a nice quiet location. Clean, and comfortable, everything we needed for a overnight stay.

We took our own food. We liked our hosts, their beautiful house, the fabulous location
