Quiet, quaint cottage

Lovely little cottage on a lifestyle block. Kitchen well appointed with everything you need for cooking meals. Modern stovetop and oven an added bonus. Loved the decor and the deck protected you from the summer sun.Rod would periodically check in to see if we needed anything, like extra towels. Would stay again as it is a short drive from Auckland and a great place to unwind. stylingdecorothcottage

The Wedding Retreat

Great little place to stay away from everyone. Took a book and some study as no TV. We did use our phones for back ground noise as there was no radio but we had cellphone coverage on the Spark network. Neat place and very easy to talk with the owner.

Country Charm

A beautifully positioned country cottage surrounded by trees with animals just across the fence. We were very comfortable on a very wet night. The decor was peaceful and encouraged relaxing with a book. The cottage was fully set up with kitchen and laundry - perfect for a longer stay.

Peaceful break away

This cottage was well presented, adequately appointed and very clean. Tucked away in the countryside beside the owners home yet independent of it and secluded from it, the place was quiet and peaceful. No TV was a bonus. Internet was not available and mobile service coverage spasmodic all of which was a bother but for us not a showstopper. We would stay again.

Good small cottage

Good clean and quiet cottage. Wi-fi didn't work for us and very little network coverage. We couldn't stay for the duration mainly due to that, as my work rely on active network.

Pukekawa Cottage

I found this cottage to be designed with consideration and fulfilled my needs. It was quiet and rural with easy access to surrounding areas, making it convenient for me to visit family and friends. Anne and Rod were attentive hosts while deeply considerate of privacy.

Lovely Country Cottage

This was just what we were looking for - quiet and rural, but close enough to Auckland that distance/travel wasn't a big factor. Rod and Anne were great hosts.

It was perfect for what I wanted.

I needed some where to stay close to Pokeno so that when the lockdown lifted I could drive into to Auckland without issues. The location and price was perfect. The host was amenable.

A perfect country stay.

Exactly what we needed, where we needed it to be. A tranquil location where we could enjoy early morning birdsong alongside with the antics of pets and countryside rural animals. Cottage had all we needed in terms of comfort and amenities. We would certainly return for a much longer stay, and recommend it to others as a perfect rural escape. The hosts were perfect in every respect. We arrived as strangers and left as friends.

Quiet vacay

We arrived at 9pm on Friday and the cottage was lit up for us. We were left to ourselves the entire weekend which is exactly what we wanted even though the main house is across the car parking area. The setting was lovely. The cottage was beautiful. The 4 legged welcoming committee was a nice touch!
