Pleasant & Pastoral

Liz was very welcoming and even introduced us to their chickens. The cows in the paddock next door greeted us in the morning. The cottage was quaint and tidy; while it was outside of the township, it was just close enough to get food and do activities.

Very nice and highly recommended

The charm of the unit rests in its surroundings. The view from the kitchen window or deck is stunning as the property is next to a berry farm. There are cows, chickens, and a few pheasants. The unit is approximately 400 square feet but has what's needed for a short to medium stay. It's close to town or the Pak'n Save, so it's possible to experience nature without being too far away from necessities. Liz and Martyn are helpful and charming as hosts.

The location was perfect. There we were, out in the country, perfect outlook from the lounge area (which included a rooster and hens), in the middle of a berry farm but unbelievably only 5 minutes from Pak n Save. There were 4 of us, in our 70s and 80s, and we fitted in very comfortably. A friend joined us for 2 nights and slept on the sofa bed.The cottage was clean and well equipped. And although we didn’t require the child amenities there was plenty there for children.The host was very friendly and helpful. The towels were changed for us as we were there a week. We didn’t use the laundry facilities but knew they were available if we had to do any washing.We would definitely stay here again and hope to book in for February. We were within easy driving distance of Otorohanga, Hobbiton, Hamilton Gardens, Waitomo Caves, and even went through to Raglan for the day.

Exploring the areas attractions

We chose this place to stay as it was fairly central to many of the things we wanted to do (caves, jet boats, hikes, Rotorua etc) but we wanted to stay somewhere rural and quiet. It is a beautiful property and cottage. There is a Berry farm right next door that does fresh fruit ice cream which is delicious! The property posting said there was laundry available but didn't mention it was 10 per wash/dry...would be good to add that detail for future guests. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect get away

There were three of us at Berry View and there were two bedrooms so privacy for each. Beds were very comfortable. The kitchenette was well fitted out, clean, and had everything we needed for meals and snacks. The bathroom was beautifully clean and had some necessary items for those who might have forgotten certain things. The towel warmer ensured that you had dry and warm towels - lovely. The hosts were lovely and gave us the gift of some fresh mandarins, but were not invasive and gave us plenty of privacy. The view of the Berry farm was lovely and restful and watching the chickens wandering around was fun. Wifi worked very well which was important for us as we still had to be connected for work. Overall a lovely stay and well worth it. Many thanks for your hospitality and lovely clean premises.

About the host

Hosted by Liz Owen

Host profile image
Hi, we are your hosts, Liz and Martyn. With our family we live on a fabulous quiet lifestyle property in the lush Te Awamutu countryside. We have a hobby orchard and garden, often selling our fresh produce at the local farmers market or turning it into wonderful jam and preserves. It is great we live so close to a fabulous lake to indulge our waterskiing passion.

Why they chose this property

Families, travelers, sporting participants and business people alike will enjoy the benefit of the fully self contained cottage with the convenience of linen provided. When we traveled we enjoyed meeting people in their homes and in the countryside. We fell in love with this property with it's tree lined drive, beautiful mature canopy, fruit trees and quiet ambiance, and we invite others to share in our little piece of paradise. The cottage sits adjacent to our family home.

What makes this property unique

Our cottage has such as beautiful countryside outlook over the majestic Mt Pirongia and sweeping country views of the Berry Farm and kahikatea trees. We opened our guest cottage after a major renovation and we are delighted with the results of our labour. Guests can enjoy a modern and private, well appointed cottage, with all the delights of home as we have invested in comfortable beds, electric vehicle charging, gas hot water controller, air conditioning, insect screens and a large outdoor deck for enjoying outdoor eating and fresh air.
