I spent two wonderful days at the eco-friendly Te Aute Ridge Cottage to celebrate my birthday, and it was the perfect getaway. The place is incredibly calm, peaceful, and beautifully surrounded by nature. A truly relaxing experience — I couldn't have asked for a better spot to unwind and celebrate!

10.0 / 10.0

What a gem of a place, so original and one of its kind!The birds singing in the lush vegetation are a constant delight.The batch itself is rustic in spirit, and rightly so, given its environment, but contains everything one needs and the kitchen is very well equipped.It was fun to shower outside with a beautiful view, and there is plenty of hot water.Last but not least, the hostess is absolutely charming.All in all, an outstanding place.

There is nothing negative to say.Great host and beautiful little touches of beauty not to mention breakfast supplies.Quiet, peaceful with birds and birdsong and close to all that Bethells Beach offers. Fantastic outdoor shower. Perfect stay.

10.0 / 10.0

What a lovely little eco-cottage! Represented exactly as pictured and was exactly what we were expecting. Quiet, private, cozy, and just a short drive from Bethel’s beach and Bethels cafe (which has some amazing food!!!). Margaret was a lovely host and so helpful! We enjoyed our conversations with her and greatly appreciated her assistance with a few hiccups we encountered with our travel plans (nothing to do with our stay at her place). The self-serve breakfast was a wonderful touch. If we are ever in the area we will most definitely stay again! Thank you Margaret! Cheers!

Spent the better part of a rainy day relaxing in this interesting little charmer. Set in the bush, it has a very calming vibe to it. Outdoor toilet, shower & sink were part of the ambiance. Comfy bed, great windows, and well stocked kitchen made for a homey feel. Short drive to Bethells Beach, which was also a great experience. Enjoyed my stay!

Glorious few days away in a peaceful tranquil wee bach. Margaret was great to deal with, and we enjoyed our weekend. The included breakfast was a lovely touch too. Go on-get yourself booked in!

10.0 / 10.0

What a treat of a spot! Margaret greeted us at the driveway and we had a lovely chat. The bach was absolutely perfect for Matt's rest and recuperation after a really exhausting month, and I got to read! The beach close enough and the sandy sunset and then Full moon rise from the deck were amazing. Everything required was provided and the fresh eggs were a lovely touch. The shower was delicious - hot and strong and glorious. We didn't end up using the DVD, but what an array of great films :) I would definitely stay again. Bliss

My partner and I had a wonderful weekend at the cottage, Margaret was an awesome host and we had heaps of fun exploring the area! 10/10 would recommend.

10.0 / 10.0

My partner and I had a wonder weekend away at this beautiful oasis. Only a stones throw from the city but when you get there you couldn’t feel further way from the hustle. The house itself awarded the most incredible view to wake up to in the morning with the native birds and bush. We entertained ourselves with the selection of DVDs and board games which felt pleasantly nostalgic. Our host was very lovely and hospitable. Made herself known when we arrived but left us to it for the rest of the trip which is a preference for my partner and I. 100% recommend and we will be back for sure.

10.0 / 10.0

A beautiful, private space with only the sound of birdlife to wake up to. Outside shower was fab, along with the fairylit steps to the loo. The bach was really well provisioned, including the lovely touch of breakfast. A short drive to beautiful Bethells Beach. We loved it!

This little cabin was only a short trip from Auckland city, but the perfect fix for a getaway without feeling too far. Close enough to the beautiful beach and Kauri trails, this place was nothing short of our expectations. Wonderful experience would definitely recommend! :)
