We loved our stay here. It was a perfect getaway with the porch looking out into the beautiful gardens. The hideout is clean and comfortable and the hosts were great. I couldn’t recommend this more.

Amazing secluded location with such a beautiful peaceful feel. We were sad to leave, even to stock up on supplies so do that before you arrive! You won’t want to go anywhere else.

Very clean and cozy cabin. Large King Bed, extremely comfortable. Beautiful outlook. Quite & Private. Coffee and milk provided for the morning.
Perhaps some drinking water could be available on arrival and some very basic snacks as the supermarkets all shut at 9pm and even the fuel stations in the area so it impossible to get even water if you arrive late.

Beautiful cabin and setting but difficult to get to.
Didn’t provide clean towels or refills coffee after first night. No power or means to light our cabin was dangerous and miserable given the isolated location. Luckily owners brought candles at 8:30pm but was way too late.

Room was perfect, well appointed and comfortable. the bathroom is great. Love the location, nestled in nature, calm and tranquility. Loved keeping an eye our for rabbits and the local quail family!
A dishrack would be helpful, and other cleaning items eg scourer or steel wool for pans

We booked 3 villas and all were designed well. Units were very clean😊
We also liked the hall where the family converged to have lunch and dinner together. It also served as kids play area when the weather wasn’t that great.
Also loved the short walk to the waterfalls!

This was the second time I have visited and I love it here. It is so peaceful and you really feel like you are in the bush. Beautiful room surrounded by birds and nature. Love the main area and lots of cool facilities. Also a cool little waterfalls/pool nearby. Very close to the main attractions of Mangawhai :)

The cabin was stunning. King bed, beautiful bathroom and shower everything you could possibly need. The surroundings were amazing, like being in the middle of a rain forest, very private and quiet. Our host was very generous in letting us have a later check out which was great.
Everything was perfect

Our cottage was perfect, as they all likely are, with a view out the fully glass wall out the back to a private deck and what can only be described as a tropical jungle with a multitude of birds. The comfortable bed faced that wall as well so you could sit up in bed and enjoy it. The bathroom was also exceptional with a great rain shower with lots of water pressure if desired. The kitchen had what you needed with a good sized refrigerator.
The private gravel driveway was long and the road to the driveway was also not paved but both were well worth it for how peaceful and quiet it was at the cottage.

It was beautifully finished , really peaceful and serene . It felt like a retreat with all the convenient finishing touches.
It’s a bit tricky to navigate without the use of a car .

Magical place so peaceful
We loved sitting outside listening to the birds and just being in the peace and quiet. The cottage we were in was lovely. Beautiful bathroom and nice comfortable bed.
Furnishings were really nice.
Loved the underfloor heating. Great touch.
Awesome being able to open the ranchslider right back for the outside access.
Little touches were fab - portable speaker , bedside lights with usb slots , even a charger plugged into the wall!!
No tv was awesome, too.
The walk down to the waterfall was great highly recommend.
Loved seeing all the different birds around and the sheep were cool to watch too.
The host was friendly and down to earth.
Easy check in and check out.
Lovely surroundings - we enjoyed playing petanque.
Great bbq area even though we didn't make use of it we thought it was really good.
An amazing little place and we will definitely be back. This is a wonderful find. And it has been a lovely way to end our mini honeymoon.
Nothing we can think of all fab!!

The property felt brand new, very clean, stylish interior, floor heating, true “hideout”, it felt as if we were somewhere deep in a rainforest. The host was very nice, let us check in much earlier than the regular check in time. We would certainly return.

The very nicely appointed accommodation. Lovely hosts. Beautiful location. Great comms from host.
Maybe one or two additional path lights (for night time) would make this property excellent!

Location 10/10. Close enough to Mangawhai town that it’s not a hassle, far enough into the bush to feel relaxed and away from a city environment. The property is stunning with sheep and a waterfall and all the amenities you need. Warm cottage, no TV (which we loved), playing cards provided and the most gorgeous walk in shower. We couldn’t fault it.
Literally nothing. We can’t wait to come back!

Stayed in the Kotare Cottage. It was large, tidy and welcoming. Had all the necessary amenities. Bathroom was very clean and well designed. Communication with Sara was easy and check in was smooth. Lovely surroundings. Made for a very comfortable and peaceful stay. Would definitely come back and stay for longer!
