10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Apr 2025
We had a delightful week in this 1860s cottage. It has been fitted out very comfortably and is surrounded by beautiful gardens including a variety of fruit trees. Fiona is a wonderful host, who responds promptly. It’s a 20 minute drive from the touristy offerings of Piahia and the busier Kerikeri so if you’re wanting shops and restaurants on your doorstep this may not be for you. If you enjoy the peace and quiet of the lush green countryside the you’ll love this cottage

Very charming, welcoming cottage & gardens, all the comforts incl pantry staples, beautiful kauri floors & enjoyed the open fire. Perfect hosts. Close to Kerikeri, Ngawha hot pools & significant historical sites. Would have stayed longer if time permitted.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2023
Elderly person struggled a bit with internal steps; was difficult to locate the property - GPS failed to locate accurately and difficult to see any signage, particularly at night. Grateful to get accommodation at short notice after previous host cancelled at last minute. Clean, good sized house in rural location.
