Guest Reviews

• Julie (10/5): Comfort, warm , quiet. Like a big hug - A beautiful large comfortable room in a peaceful country setting. The room was lovely warm, very comfortable and exceeded our expections by a long long way. It is a little off the beaten track but that just added to the serenity. Loved it. Nothing
• Ngaio (10/5): Great host, lovely accom. Perfect for last minute accom after a long journey - No breakfast. Location in the country
• Geeves (10/5): -
• Edward (9/5): Perfect in every way - Everything, amazing hosts, fabulous comfy bed and all the extras you could possibly ask for - even fruit from their trees. The access road is gravel and quite lumpy, so your car is always dusty, but worth it for the amazing stay.
• Paulsen (10/5): - Beautiful getaway from city noise. Room has absolutely everything you need with some bonus trinkets stashed away that for that little bit extra something special. A small bottle of milk in the fridge with a little bowl of chocolate treats. The drawer in the bathroom loaded with mini shampoos, body wash,toothpaste, some books, and games to keep you entertained. My husband and I enjoyed a little competitive game of zip it, and the host was absolutely lovely. The weather was the only thing, but obviously, that was uncontrollable. Gives us a good excuse to return so we can witness the night sky in its full glory away from the city lights.

• Awatea (10/5): - The view was amazing the host was lovely,unfortunately the chickens were asleep when we arrived and left but they look very pretty
• Friederike (10/5): Wish we could have stayed longer - Quiet rural location with beautiful garden setting views and landscape beyond. Chickens were quietly clucking away in their pen on our arrival and the cottage was super clean and homely. Josie, the host, was lovely and happy to assist with any questions or requests, didn't need the latter as everything was thought of already. nothing
• Jim (9/5): We - Location, excellent, nice and quiet, not far from Matakana and Warkworth .. we enjoyed our welcome to Hen House.. was a great place to use as a base to explore an area of NZ we’ve never been to.. All good, although we found the bed a little hard.. we found cooking difficult as we have never used a microwave, also the electric frypan did not have sensitive controls
• Cconnie (9/5): -
• Naomi (10/5): - LOVED the quietness of the countryside and the warm welcome from the hosts Josie & Laraine. Happy New Year to you both 🥰 I didn't like that we could only stay for one night!!!

• Becky Mair (10/5): - The owners gave you everything you needed for the night. Nothing, it was lovely 😍
• Roy (10/5): - Really comfy bed. Friendly hosts. Chickens weren't loud at night. Everything was where you expected it to be. Flowers in bloom and had a pleasant aroma (in late October). One plate was a bit greasy.
• Ian (9/5): Enjoyable location - Quiet, great facilities and comfortable Distance from eating venues, but only 10kms

• Mike (8/5): Very good -
• Sidney (9/5): A great place in the country. You must like chickens. - The Hen House is a terrific little getaway place, especially if you are a fan of chickens! The unit is a good-size stand-alone cabin on the property, out in the country (the wop-wops, for kiwis, boonies for Canadians). The grounds are terrific – flowers, native plants, a chicken coop (naturally), some funky artwork on the back fence, etc. The hospitality was very welcoming. It was slightly challenging to get there, in that the last few miles of road are a bit rough, but it’s well worth the banging about. We’d go back in a minute. Nothing.
• Maarten (8/5): per above - the hens and the rolling hills; the easy laidback country style, never locked the place, very quiet, even the hens! n/a
• Charmaine (10/5): Exceptional - Location was exceptional, views to appreciate
• Erik (8/5): We loved our stopover in the Hen House and the hosts, Josie and Laraine were lovely and helpful. - Loved the peaceful, country setting. Comfy bed and cabin was very clean and well presented.
• Sydney (10/5): Exceptional -
• Helena (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marija (10/5): Absolutely loved it. - We had the privilege of staying here for the night and we absolutely loved our stay. Thank you so much for having us Josie, you were so welcoming and so lovely. Would recommend this place 100 times over if you're after a little get away with hubby or even alone, it is so peaceful and quiet. Such a lovely little spot to relax at. We loved having a wee break away from reality in this cute, cozy cottage.
• John (10/5): Exceptional -
• Melinda (10/5): Rejuvenating - Thank you for warm welcome, generously stocked home, a beautiful peaceful night and great free range eggs !
• Edwina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tim (9/5): Very tranquil and an ideal distance from Auckland -
• Mrs (8/5): Very good - Very private, peaceful and restful in the countryside. Lovely welcoming hosts.Clean and tidy house. Handy to most places in the Kaipara. Our maps kept taking us the long way to get to the property. A recycle bin would have been handy.
• Alwyn (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vishnu (10/5): awesome - neatness and ambience Location, but not too far from town
• Jacky (10/5): A lovely retreat after busy days spent elsewhere. - Location we very quiet. With a lovely rural garden. The chickens were not noisy and the room was beautiful. It was perfect
• Rebecca (9/5): Superb - clean and peaceful.... perfect for a relaxing night away.
• Bernadette (8/5): It was good , adaquate ,clean Comfortable nice hosts - Lack of power points and a little cramped in kitchen area not much bench space
• Rod (9/5): Comfortable, clean and private with a friendly, obliging host and lots of ‘chooks’. - The owner/operator is friendly and personable. Nothing was a problem to her and the rural location is both private and peaceful. The unit was clean, well-equipped and comfortable and the price was very reasonable for the standard of accommodation. The only very slightly negatives are that the lack of power points - for example, charging two iPads and 2 cell ‘phones at the same time is problematic and the distance from the main highway, largely on unsealed roads might be an issue for some people.
• Syd (10/5): Exceptional -
• Keran (10/5): A special rural retreat - We loved the rural location and the very scenic drive to it. Bed was comfortable and a well equipped kitchenette, which was perfect for us to make our tea. We appreciated all the extra personal touches...Josie had the accommodation warm for us when we arrived which was such a treat.The chocolates and 3 fruit marmalade were delicious too. Our fabulous friendly hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The hens made an appearance, which totally delighted mum. Thanks Josie and Lorraine for sharing your slice of paradise! I would so love to return one day. Everything was perfect !

• Christy (10/5): Perfect - A beautiful unit where the hosts have thought of everything.

Perfect wi-fi and great TV setup. You can tell there's a lot of love, thought and pride at The Hen House. The bed was 10/10 comfortable, Josie so welcoming, beautiful garden and hens. I could not fault it and hope one day to return. The Hen House would be a great place for a peaceful long weekend away or a week of 'rest and recover' - I wish we had more time here. I can't recommend enough. Thank you Josie for sharing your part of the world with us.

• Marblewings (9/5): Rural bliss in Kaipara Flats. - Most tranquil, the perfect spot to relax in, away from the city. Lovely panorama of farmland, with only sheep and hens to listen to. Very comfortably furnished little cabin, plenty of hot water, great WiFi. The hosts were superb. The hens are delightful! We loved it, will be back when we can. Not really a problem, but we had to watch driving on the metal road when arriving, as there were potholes but we're given the heads up by the hosts beforehand. Upon leaving, the potholes had been fixed, so no issues.
