Luxury Countryside Retreat - Totara Valley

The hostess was really great. She met us at the door and was extremely nice.

All good

We attended a marae event and usually would stay there but needed to find alternative arrangements this time. So I gave air bnb a go, pretty new to this and what an awesome first time experience! Hosts are very accomodating even though we had 2 extra kids with us in the end. They love kids and the kids of course loved the pool. Just great hosts, the place is cosy and comfortable with everything you need. Quick drive away from shops in Moerewa, Ohaeawai or Kaikohe. Thank you Felicity & Don, great house.

Only thing we might have regretted was not staying an extra night.

Perfect peaceful location for doing the twin coast bike trail and so nice to come “home” unwind on the deck with a cool beverage looking out to the paddocks. Great to have the ability to cook our own meals - a well equipped kitchen.

Dům na samotě, úžasný klid, bazén k dispozici, krásný výhled z ložnice na pastviny, velice milí hostitelé.

Není co vytknout.

Clean, comfortable within a peaceful setting

Nothing, everything was great

Location was close to main road but very private. Lovely view and quiet.

It was central to all the places we visited & especially close to Kaikohe to Kerikeri! Ngawha Springs or a long trip to Cape Reinga. Its also close to Paihia & the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. The moment you drive through the gate you'll be greeted with welcoming smiles from the owners. Then you'll be rewarded with breath-taking views of the mountains that surrounds your stay. You could sit in the pool for ages enjoying the views. Its a relaxed, quiet, peaceful & private home next to the owners whose kind, gentle, witty with excellent communication. The 2 rooms are big and one room has a library of books that we enjoyed reading by the poolside! The kitchen has everything you need & the shower/toilet is big. They have laundromat's everywhere in each town that runs for 24hr's & this we enjoyed talking very much with the local's. But your stay does have washing facilities provided. Electric blankets were a bonus & your beds are comfy & warm. You can go for a walk on a gravel road away from the main road greeted by friendly cows. We can't thank Felicity & Don enough for such an amazing stay (& Starr) We had a busy week/weekend with Meetings & breaks but they have made us feel right at home. We definitely will book this place again!!! ps Wifi was great & the fat Fijoas drops fresh each day 😋

Access to the pool and how peaceful it was.

Multiple insects throughout the property, dead and alive.

Luxury Countryside Retreat is a wonderful place to stay to explore NZ's Northland! We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful farm views and the very comfortable 2-bedroom apartment. It had all the facilities and comforts we needed to feel at home (full kitchen, roomy lounge, large windows, comfortable beds), and in addition the pool was a delight after a day of touring. Felicity and Don were warm and welcoming With all of that, we think it is an exceptional value and we highly recommend staying there.

Great accommodation with lovely hosts. Peaceful rural setting with spectacular country views Perfect location for us.
