I loved this place, Communication can be a problem as there is very little cell phone signal, but then that is exactly what I was looking for. Pets were welcome. We have a minor medical problem and the host was on hand to help based on her years of experience. Will defiantly be going back there sometime.

Home away from home

Although wet had a wonderful relaxing stay. Real down time in somewhere that felt like a home away from home. Lynley and Dan are great hosts and gave recommendations on where to go and where I could take my dog. Will definitely stay again as still have some walks to do. The breakfast goodies were really appreciated. I highly recommend staying here

Explore karangahake

Wood pigeon cottage is in an ideal location for exploring the area. There's a ton of adventures close by. The host is very communicative and the whole process of checking in was easy. The place could do with a bit of a clean around the edges but was comfortable, peaceful and sunny. Just note there's no door between the bedroom and living area if you're taking kids. Thanks for the lovely stay!
