From the start we felt at home in this wonderful house. This is really a stay that has everything and the view is astonishing. If you are searching for base for your adventures around the ring of Kerry this is what you need. We stayed here with our kids and this house has everything.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2024
The house is very spacious and well equipped. The kitchen living area is especially large and could accommodate 8 people easily. The bedrooms are less expansive though still fine for ordinary sized people (I am 6ft 4" and the ceiling was a little low for me to use the upstairs bedroom comfortably. That said there is a king sized bed in one of the downstairs rooms which suited me fine.).
The addition of a games room and a dedicated hot tub room is a real bonus.
The views from the house are amazing: beautiful hills and sea views over 180 degrees.
Two things it is worth noting when planning a visit first the Irish weather is unpredictable in the autumn and winter. Wind rain and mist are part of the experience of this beautiful country so plan accordingly. Second this house has a very steep driveway and a number of steps inside, people with limited mobility should take this in to account when planning a stay.
Finally a big thank you to Catherine the host. She could not have been more helpful and welcoming and really went above and beyond the call of duty to make us feel welcome and at home.

We had a great time at Aotearoa. The house was big and cozy. The view from the house was amazing, Our son loved to play table tennis after a day with great impressions of Kerry. Katherine was a
very good host. She gave us some informations about good pubs and hiking places. Thanks!
