Lovely stay

Alysn is a great host! We were provided with everything we needed plus some lovely little extras for our baby when we mentioned we would like a porta cot. Check in and out was easy and the place was nice and warm and had everything we needed. The only thing we found fault in was the shower which didn’t have much pressure and went from hot to cold often but that was no big deal as everything else was excellent. Thanks Alysn & husband, we had a lovely stay.

Lovely short getaway

Great short holiday near a fantastic beach (Tawharanui). It was pretty cool to hear kiwis at night in the nearby bush.

Beautiful Breakaway

An exquisite property set on the top of a hill in the countryside. The owner was so accommodating and went above and beyond to make our overnight stay special for our family. What an amazing experience, we will definitely be back for a longer stay next time.

Wonderful weekend

A wonderful bach in a superb location! We had a gorgeous Easter weekend break at Kotare House. The cottage is immaculate, very comfortable and has beautiful art. There are so many thoughtful added extras from breakfast items to toiletries. Delightful hosts, great lawn games and lovely, gentle dogs for the children to play with. Tawharanui regional park and beach has enough for days and days of interesting walks, bird spotting and beach play. A very relaxing and nurturing break for all of us.

Location, Style and Attention to detail

Large 2 bedroom apartment on lower level of large private house. Immaculate inside with modern furnishings, great artwork (some by the host) and excellent kitchen with new appliances - stove, fridge etc. Garden and surround amazing - natural 10 acre(?) bush for wonderful walk, and if you're lucky can see a kiwi. Also a 15 min or so walk to small beach and short drive to other beaches near by. Hosts Alysn and Brian ensure all welcome - families and their dogs.....great company for their own two mature but playful border collies! Perfect for a romantic getaway or fun with friends.
