Whalers retreat

Beautiful cozy cottage, comfortable bed, fold out couch, wifi, peaceful country side, throughly enjoyed our night get away and will return.

The accommodation was very clean, comfortable & in a beautiful & peaceful setting. It also had all the facilities needed for a comfortable stay to explore the far north. Beautiful views of the sunrise!

Nothing!

The place was lovely and clean, communication was prompt and clear. Location was ideal for sight seeing in the far north: 90mile beach, Cape Reinga, Kaitaia etc. The kitchen had all the basics needed to be comfortable. The entire property was clean and cozy. We really felt like it was a home away from home. Love the local art within the property too

Clean, tidy and comfortable. Nice compact little unit. Not too far away from a Cafe for coffee and snacks.

Microwave needs fixing... it arced when switched on. Smoke alarms have been removed. There is a hole in the floor/ wall at the base of the sliding door... could let vermon in, although I don't think I had any "visitors". Simple fixes.

Privacy, location, cleanliness, facilities, value for money, nice and beautiful small home.

Great little cottage

Excellent location with privacy.

A sunshade on the deck would have been great.

It was a nice place to stop on our trip Cape Reinga and 90-mile beach, and explore the surroundings. Very quiet location. The place was large, fully equipped, with a comfortable bed, nice living room, pleasant outside deck to have breakfast, A big plus was the washing machine and a tumbler (very convenient).

We were there late February, It was OK during the day but fully infested by mosquitoes during the night, attracted by light. So, we could not leave the windows open (it was relatively hot but there is no air conditioning). It would be a real PLUS if the owner would put one or two mosquito-screens so we could get some fresh air during the night.
