Delightful cottage and one very delightful cat host! Greeted by said cat and an equally delightful elderly Golden Retriever who was very, very pleased to show me the treat in his/her mouth.Lovely place to stay.

We had a fantastic stay here! The host was so welcoming and helpful. Was a nice quiet stay after two nights in Wellington cbd. We were stoked we found somewhere to relax and the sauna helped!

Lovely stay with a little one

We enjoyed 2 lovely nights at this property. The space is small, but has everything you need plus a few luxuries (loved the coffee machine). We were travelling with our 1 year old and having the back garden to explore was great! Would definitely recommend/stay again.

Quiet country location, close enough to beaches that the drive was doable, and friendly pets. Cute and comfy accommodations. Hosts were good at communicating and very responsive. Property was as listed. I’d recommend it to others.

5 star tiny living on family farm in Pākaraka

Cute lil getaway with all the lux you need. Photos are accurate! coffee in the morning w fresh milk from their cows offered (so creamy), sauna right outside your door. Owners are lovely and very hospitable. Was a tiny home but just superb for a weekend away.

Great spot & Super host

Fantastic spot to stop and rest after a hard weekend hiking on Mt Taranaki. Property was clean, well appointed and modern. Host was super helpful to organise a dinner meal for us which was not something normally provided. Lots of nice extras available too (drinks and snacks) with an honesty box to pay - a nice touch. Would def recommend.
