Located in Waipu, this cottage is in a rural area. The area's natural beauty can be seen at Waipu Caves and Waipu Cove Beach, while Waipu Museum and Kauri Museum are cultural highlights.

Discover the area's water adventures with power boating and surfing/body boarding nearby, or enjoy the great outdoors with mountain biking and hunting.
It’s a very clean, spacious, and quiet place that has everything you need for a perfect vacation. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

Well presented, spacious, and peaceful with a stunning rural outlook.
Serenity at its finest! Our family had a fun and relaxing holiday surrounded by picturesque native forest, farmland and calves! Thank you Martin for a wonderful stay - we needed the extra night! We really do look forward to coming back again. Take care.
Beautiful property.Martin was fantastic. All brand new with super compy beds. Huge lounge chairs. Great shower.. We just loved this place.. Definitely be coming back..
Martin's place was absolutely lovely. Surrounded by farmlands, and beautiful native bush - while the place was newly renovated, with a lovely outdoor area + croquet course. Would highly recommend. Only a short drive to Waipu town + the beach.

A great secluded spot that we’ll definitely be returning to! It was so peaceful and well maintained. We really enjoyed having a fully functional kitchen and laundry and the bathroom was modern and a great size. Martin welcomed us on arrival farewelled us on departure and was very accommodating as well. Only suggestion is make sure you bring bug spray as the sand flies will get you otherwise. And at night it can get quite hot in summer unless you use the fan like we did in the lounge from early on in the evening to help cool things down. Otherwise exceeded our expectations and so glad we found this hidden gem!
