The cottage was clean and functional, in a very quiet location but close to a fabulous beach and Darganville. The cottage is in the process of improvement but is totally functional and did not distract from the comfort it provided.
There was no TV, but this Internet was available
1.0 / 10.0
The view was great. Otherwise this place was awful. Would not recommend at all.
The “bedrooms” have no doors on, the place is tiny, the shower is terrible, the “breakfast” was a loaf of cheap bread and some dodgy looking milk with a few options of old cereals. The crockery was old, stained and looked like it needed a good wash. There was one grubby dishcloth for dishes. The fridge freezer makes loud noises all night which when there’s no doors on the bedrooms means no one gets any sleep. The view is beautiful but the back garden isn’t safe at all with a sheer dangerous drop off. There’s no decent seating inside and no useable outdoor space. The paint work was all chipping off, skirting boards dirty and and towels were grotty.
The location is fine if you are passing through. It’s more like 40 minutes to Kai iwi lakes not the 15 mins that’s advertised.
Neighbours doing burn outs on the grass down the road.
Not usually one to leave a bad review but wouldn’t want anyone else to suffer this disappointment. We ended up leaving a day early!

The cottage was clean and comfortable, we chose the location away from the town for a couple of quiet nights in a small rural town.
Unfortunately the host who owns the 4 bedroom house next door as well as the one we rented had rented to 12 young men who had come down from Auckland to party and the neighbours up the road decided it was a great night for loud music. Our host said she did a drive down the road to see if she could do anything . We just picked the wrong weekend for a quiet retreat..

I loved the morning setting looking over the river and enjoying breakfast with my family.
When we arrived the place was in excellent condition the home had a lovely feeling and the house was so relaxing. It was definitely a peaceful place to stay. I will definitely recommend this to others.

Stunning river view
Lack of heating, not the best neighbourhood, no doors on bedrooms

Lovely location
In the property description there was no mention of a television, because there isn’t one! Also no mention of a lounge suite because there is only outdoor cane furniture. Dirty towels in the bathroom waa also not a highlight.
Do not stay at this property with young children, garden is very dangerous with steep unfenced drop.

Basic but comfortable apartment with stunning lake view.
Very peaceful location.
Very responsive host.
Quite strange not having doors on the bedrooms and I do think this would make a big difference as the fridge/freezer was noisy and a green light from the kitchen could be seen

The view was amazing overlooking the tranquil river. The property was in a quiet location
There was all we needed though the mattress was uncomfortable

Everything that it offered was there. However, the fresh produce, bread, butter, yoghurt and spreads were an unexpected and heartwarming gift.
Some guests may need to be warned that this property has no table, no TV, no doors to the bedrooms and, like most NZ residences, no fly screens.

Nice and peaceful perfect for our little family of 4
First time staying in Te Kopuru
Loved the view of the River 🙂
Washing machine was very handy we used after swimming at Kai Iwi Lakes.
Nothing major but just a small suggestion the frying pan was too small for cooking, perhaps possibly providing a bigger frying pan for a family to use.

10 mins easy drive to Dargaville. Stunning views of river. So quiet you could hear a pin drop. Accommodation had a kitchen with everything and more. We appreciated the breakfast options.

The location was very peaceful with a nice view overlooking the river. Nice chickens next door. The place had everything we needed - we'd been travelling for a while so we appreciated a modern washing machine, washing line etc and a well-stocked kitchen with all the equipment so we could cook proper meals. Everything in good condition. Great shower.
The bedrooms lacked doors (possibly temporary? Maybe they'd been taken off for painting or something). Also, some flyscreens on the windows would have been good. The main bedroom got very hot with with the afternoon sun, and we would have slept better with more open windows but we were getting bitten.

It was very nice having breakfast cereals, yoghurt and fruit supplied
I missed a few small things like handy towels, tissues and it would have been nice to have washing powder for the washing machine

Nice to provide continental breakfast but would have preferred the milk and yoghurt to be packaged. Location was good, handy to the Kauri walks and Lakes - the cliff edge of the property was a surprise.
Doors on the bedrooms would have been nice plus a TV and freezer component to the fridge.

Very spacious, clean house. Where we were welcomed with a cupboard filled with different breakfast options! The view of the river is great and we felt very comfortable in the house. The host was very friendly, she even posted the adapters we had forgotten to our next destination! I would definitely recommend this accomodation!

It was very cosy and clean, fantastic view and great to be able to do laundry (washing machine in bathroom) Hosts lived next door but only bumped into them by chance when I finally checked out.
Was alittle disappointed that the fireplace was not functional due to needing a maintenance service although owners did provide a small heater and house is very well insulated which made the stay warm/cosy. No doors on bedrooms so if you have an early riser then everyone else will be too.

I loved the view, the layout of the cottage, all the facilities, comfy beds and the bonus items the host provided for us for the baby/kids. Ie. baby bath, cot and toys/books. The breakfast was amazing and I’m so thankful to the host for delivering more milk to our large family in the rain at 8:30 at night when the Superette was closed!
Could have had some Hot chocolate sachets and we didn’t need the fire but couldn’t see any lighting materials. Sliding doors could be fitted on the rooms but it didn’t bother us for one night.
