Clean, compact and comfortable

Perfect base for us when visiting family. Exactly as described in the listing. The cottage was warmer/better insulated than I expected, which was great. A little road noise can be heard, but not too bad.

The cottage was enough for us both

We didn’t realise that the pool which is advertised was separate on another property. That’s not clear on the ad. Didn’t matter to us but if you had kids it might.

Hello Karen, Not sure what you mean with the pool being on another property. It is definitely on our property and the same property your cottage was on. Maybe the cottage felt so private that you thought the pool was somewhere else :-). All the best, Inga

Private and relaxing

Felt quite at home staying here as the unit was very private and surrounded by orange trees. Very convenient location to use as a base to explore Bay of Islands and Northland. Feeding the pigs and chickens was also nice, especially exciting for our little one. Claes was very accommodating and kept us well supplied with fresh oranges. Highly recommend staying here is you want some privacy and peace.

This place was a big surprise for us. It was a bach with a bit of luxury. The bathroom is really well finished. very modern and the gas stove was also a dream to work. The kent fire wood burner is the added extra. We loved our stay, and would recommend to everyone.

Lovely quiet setting

Set back off the road in a quiet position surrounded by trees, it was a lovely quiet place to stay. The host was very friendly and so were the other people staying. So close to kerikeri.

Peace and privacy

We spent 3 nights at this little gem which is tucked away from it all on the edge of an organic citrus orchard. Simplicity, all essentials available. We particularly enjoyed being adopted by Nika the black lab who seemed to gravitate to our veranda whenever we were in residence! Would happily stay again.

Lots of room for 2 people. Very clean and tidy. Comfortable bed and ample kitchen space. Surrounded by orange trees and other aspects of a hobby farm - chickens and pigs. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Great base for Kerikeri and Bay of Islands. Highly recommended.
