Loved being on site at a wonderful Nature Reserve. Lovely to walk around ion the twilight. Waking up to the dawn chorus was great.

Blackout curtains so the lights in the carpark don't annoy you though night

"Very special place."

You feel immersed in nature. Spent an amazing evening sitting on the balcony looking at the night sky and listening to the kiwis. The bed was very comfortable.

Nothing.

Everything. Theo’s cottage has had an upgrade since we were last there. Have stayed a few times now. It is so quiet when everyone leaves the reserve. The bird song is amazing. Everything perfect!

"Great parking, great view"

10.0

Very accommodating staff, well informed of local services and the room itself. Our son loved the animals and the view. We loved having a beautiful space to explore and stretch our legs after a big day travelling. Gates were locked so our vehicles were safe and plenty of parking for both our vehicles and a trailer with plenty more to spare. We definitely regret not taking an extra day at this space to enjoy the full extent of the park and walks.

Nothing to dislike. It was a great stay.

Cottage beautifully set up, wonderful to be in that spot with the birds, and to walk in the bush

Nothing you could do, the sound of the motorway
