We were happy to come back to stay here again. it was again a lovely experience. Such a peaceful and gorgeous place. Thank you for the feijoas and mandarins :) The kids are already missing Zeus. Sorry we didn't say goodbye on Sunday, but I didn't want to bother you on Mother's Day by knocking on the door and interrupting.

Beautiful cottage, semi rural setting

This is a wonderful semi rural property. Very quiet and private. The cottage was extremely tidy and clean with pet bowls outside so your furry friends are catered for. The shower was next level with amazing pressure. The main bedroom was very spacious and the bed was comfy. We also had the owners Doggo visit the following morning to welcome us. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Tauranga with or without rheir pets.

Idyllic rural getaway

We were staying in the area to attend a family reunion and this cottage was perfect for us. 10 minutes from Papamoa where our event was based, it provided us a beatiful and peaceful setting to relax inbetween other activities. Beautiful spaces both inside and outside, it had everything we needed and more. would definitely recommend.
