Tawatahi Cottage

Beautiful location and reasonably comfortable cottage. But feel owners should be upfront about the ‘quirks’ of the property before rather than after booking. Bathroom and toilet well below par for price (bathtub grim and needs re-enamelling or scrapping). But all perfectly usable and really enjoyed our stay.

This cottage is all about the location and the character! A quirky traditional bach, with sloping floors, doors that didn't quite shut and gorgeous big windows looking over the river. We loved this place, especially the wonderful large wooden verandahs with a big outside table, perfect for watching life outside. Longish walk or short drive to town but also a restaurant within walking distance. Comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen and great sofa for watching tv and looking out the windows.

Nothing. Slope into the carport a little steep but plenty of road parking if needed.

location was good.

The views were lovely and good access to the wharf/restaurants

The property was a bit of a let down and not worth the high price we spent. There were multiple large cockroaches inside the house, rusted fan that did not work properly and no aircon which made it uncomfortably hot, toilet that was small/uncomfortable being in an outbuilding layout and the bathtub was was dirty (brown stains around the drainage and brown damaged slimy worn out non slip strips which you're meant to stand on). The floors were very uneven and sometimes found it hard to balance in kitchen. The driveway was incredibly hard to even get our car in. Unpleasant stay and not worth the high prices charged.

The location, deck and the views were fantastic. Bed was comfy. Great shower, despite being over the bath.

Umbrella was broken. Bolt on French doors broken. The step up/down from bedrooms bit dodgy.

The location is excellent, offering an incredible view! The house is very cozy, with a comfortable living room and bedrooms, all with beautiful views.

The only issue is the location of the toilet, which isn't ideal. At night, you can really feel the temperature difference—it gets much colder.
