    Lovely welcoming hosts, Lise was prompt and attentive. We just stayed the one night but it was a very restful and relaxing stay, very private and serene garden areas to enjoy, and all just a short walk to the Kohukohu CBD : ) Very handy to the pub and shop and just across the street from the bowls club where the locals will happily welcome you for a sneaky beverage, there’s some folks there enjoying a bowl and a beer most nights during the summer nights.

    A delightful quiet cottage retreat in central Kohukohu full of art and wonderful books, and maps and possible excursions on the stunning Hokianga Harbour. Oh, and lots of lush plants and birdlife.

    Nestled in a lush tropical bush setting, 'Birdsong & Bananas' lived up to the name! It feels both private & secluded, while at the same time being a short stroll to everything Kohukohu has to offer. Lise & Claudio were thoughtful and communicative hosts, keen to make sure we had everything we needed, including time to ourselves. Comfy, super clean, unique...and a playground over the road in the local school which our son loved. Can't wait to go back!
