Beautiful rustic cottages that had everything we needed. Staff were friendly and very helpful. So convenient that its just down the road from Kumeu Valley Estate, where we had our wedding.

Couldn’t fault anything!! Beautiful place to stay, a big thank you to all the Team for making our short stay memorable and comfortable, we couldn’t have asked for more. Lovely setting and a great place to relax. The location was just what we needed whilst attending a wedding at a local venue. Fully recommended!

A quaint lodge in a beautiful and secluded setting in the Waimauku countryside. The property has everything you could need and the breakfast food provided was great. It was clean and quiet and only a 5 minute drive from the nearest town. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely decor in the cottage, suited the theme, nice and clean.
It was my first time staying in a cottage, and it turned out to be a very pleasant experience. The interior was beautifully done, with a kitchenette and a cozy living room featuring a fireplace (though we didn’t use it). There’s no restaurant on-site, but there’s a hunting lodge restaurant right next to the cottage, which was convenient.
One downside was that I forgot to close the windows and doors, which let mosquitoes into the room and disturbed my sleep quite a bit. Overall, it’s a really cool place for a cottage stay!
