"A little gem of a cottage"

10.0

What a little gem this cottage is, comfortable and homely. There was everything we needed for our 2 night stay and provisions provided for breakfast were a bonus. This was the perfect place for us to end our 8 week trip around Australia and New Zealand.

The only downside was the very steep steps up to the mezzanine bedroom.

Breakfast options were fine. Outdoor furniture is an improvement. Shower was good with plenty of towels, and bed is comfortable.

A few more curtains for privacy is the only thing that I can suggest.

"Perfect relaxing, authentic stay. Highly recommended"

9.0

Very well equipped stay in an idyllic setting. So relaxing and in a great location close to Auckland. Wish we had more time to spend here!

The property got very hot on a humid summer day but did cool down during the night with a few windows open.

"Nice cottage in a handy location. Would certainly stay again."

9.0

Peaceful location in country, but easy drive from the airport. Cottage spacious and fully furnished and cute interior. We arrived in late with no time to stock up on groceries, and so appreciated the supplies in the cottage larder. Also appreciated the detailed directions, as we arrived at night in a heavy downpour.

"Cottage was clean and comfortable definitely not for elderly or disabled"

6.0

The lawns and grounds were untidy long grass, gate to be kept closed but no sign of stock anywhere and little room to open the gate , Also the deck needs cleaning 30 seconds maybe
