Cath and Peter were excellent hosts. The house was lovely, had all the amenities. Was clean and tidy, beds were comfy. We were stuck in Whangamata due to road slips, they let us stay longer than planned! Wonderful hosts. Would highly recommend.
We had a lovely time staying here. The place is bigger than we thought it would be with plenty of different areas for dining/relaxing! Heaps of space for the 6 of us. Had a great stay 😊

It was so nice to go into the cottage to see that they had left it immaculate, I would definitely accept them again.
We really enjoyed our stay at Caths Cottage. The property is reasonably close proximity to the main shops and has the added bonus of the park adjoining the rear boundary. The accommodation was good and served its purpose. We would love to come back.
We loved our stay! The pictures don’t do it justice, it is such a beautiful little bach, less than 5 minutes drive to the beach. The kitchen has everything you need, and the air conditioner was a lifesaver on the hot summer evenings. 10/10 would reccomend.

Excellent guests would definitely rent to them again. The place was left lovely and tidy.
Had a great, comfortable stay. Hadn’t read the brief properly so missed that sheets weren’t provided but that was speedily addressed by the owner at low cost. Nice outlook across a field to the bush. Would stay again.

Great people, and they left the cottage tidy I wouldn't hesitate to accept their booking again.
Cottage is lovely and clean, and decor is very stylish and relaxing. It was great to get up and sit in the conservatory at breakfast with the sun streaming in. The house has hvac, but we didn't need it. The sun in the day was enough to warm the house at night, and it is very cosy.

Very easy to deal with left the cottage nice and clean. Very respectful people.
We had a lovely stay at Cath’s cottage. It is well set up with everything that you need and is quiet and private. Easy drive to the beach. Added bonus of aircon for the hot summer days. Fully fenced so it’s great for young children. Thanks for having us!
We had a great stay and appreciated your suggestions of things to do. The beach was a great, safe, family place to swim and play.
Thank you for letting us stay.
