Awesome Cottage

Loved this place, was so quiet and peaceful. Really enjoyed having the freedom to just wander around the gardens as well. Cottage was lovely with everything we needed and was a great place to just relax and unwind. Jan and Roger made us feel very welcome and the fresh eggs and homemade bread was a really lovely touch. Totally recommend this place.

Fantastic stay

Really enjoyed my stay. Thankyou very much to Roger and Jan. Excellent friendly and welcoming hosts. And an amazing little patch of paradise close to the main road, but with a remote feel. Great little cottage that our little family thoroughly enjoyed. Highlights were swimming in the adjacent stream, relaxing in the spa, visiting the square kauri, and getting a good feed at the local pub. Hopefully stay again soon.

Charming & Delightful!

What a wonderful stay at the "Cottage" with great hosts, Jan & Roger. If you are looking to find a piece of paradise, surrounded by peace and tranquility, with only the sounds of a river and nature, this is just the place. You will not want to leave. We arrived to find baked bread , freshly laid eggs, tomatoes kindly supplied to ensure we have a great breakfast. We will definitely be back. Lisa & Paul

Awesome.

Complete bliss. Few mins from the beach but wonderful quiet bush setting with enormous gardens / lawns bordering a stream to explore. The generous cottage had all the comforts. These hosts have seriously nailed it in terms of great value for money, friendliness, setting and ambience. book it...I can't think of anything people might find fault with...the hosts are absolutely lovely. We used it as a base from which to do a Coromandel town day trip..rather than stay in Coromandel overnight. It looks further on the map than it is and worked just fine.

The cottage is cosy and well appointed, and grounds are large and a pleasure to stroll in. The sound of birds and the stream are therapeutic after Auckland's noise. If you just need to catch your breath for a few days. you will love being here. We will be back when we have the opportunity.
