Excellent garden bush setting, comfortable and good quality furnishings, good cooking facilities, lovely host check in with cheese and crackers. Even with the very bad weather we enjoyed our stay - had wonderful natural views and were comfortable throughout.
Mark and Sue, what a duo! They were so gracious and thoughtful with the whole set-up. The cottage was lovely and tidy and equipped with everything you would ideally require. The place was top-notch with an amazing view, couldn’t be any better. Our stay was incredible and would highly recommend this place to everyone reading this review. :)
Beautiful place. We stayed at Sue's place with our kids and had the best serene experience.Sue and Mark are the most thoughtful host. The cottage stay is quite comfortable with the stunning views of the mountains and the sea view. It always felt so nice to get away from the rush of the Auckland city and to be in a place blended well with the nature.We walked up and down the Kauri mountain view point and was mesmerized by the scenic beauty of the place.The kitchen contained everything we need. Bed is cozy and comfortable and the bathroom is clean and nice.Overall, a very tidy and lovely cottage equipped with everything you need. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay. Thank you Sue and Mark.
Thoroughly recommend this guesthouse for up to four people.
Lovely quiet garden with stunning coastal views.
Easy vehicle access and parking.
We really loved our stay.
We stayed 2 nights, loved the space - in the cottage, and outside with the magnificent wide views. Such a beautiful part of NZ. We walked up and down Kauri Mountain, and enjoyed the quiet. Mark and Sue are great hosts, left us to ourselves :) Thank you for a lovely stay.
Very private and quiet location. Great views and gardens. The house is fully self contained and has everything you need. Sue and her husband are very thoughtful and friendly hosts.
