We loved the vintage decor and the cottage was super cute. There was a friendly cat that came to visit everyday which made my day too! We didn’t get to use the spa unfortunately because of the bad weather.

Spa pool didn't work the whole time we were there. And no compensation was offered. There was also possibly rats in the walls (sounded way too big for mice).Cottage was cute but to cluttered with trinkets - some where very dusty.

A uniquely decorated cottage, very comfortable and quiet. The owner provided a comprehensive folder of instructions for all devices. The hot tub was ready for use on our arrival. The Karangahake Gorge walkway is close by and although some of the tracks were closed, we enjoyed the walk through the tunnel and beside the river. Would happily stay again.

It has a hot pool!

We had a lovely winter getaway for a couple of days, and especially enjoyed the enormous hot tub. The walks nearby are great, but please note that cafe listed as being 2 mins away no longer exists, so you do need to drive to get food or walk the 6km or so one way to the Waikino Tavern. The house is old, but well kept and clean except for a funky smell in the rear room. Overall we had a great time and would recommend to anyone :)

Shhhhhhhhh! We want to keep this place a secret. This is our go-to place to stay when we want a quick escape from Auckland and all the noise. Perfect location for access to walk, Waihi and Paeroa 10 mins either way for conveniences.
