A lovely little cottage with a well equipped kitchen and beautiful outlook over trees and sea. This was a relaxing break that felt far from the city but was just a short drive to beaches, cafes, shops and even a cinema.

Everything about Kereru Cottage outdid our expectations. Beautifully presented and maintained inside and out with everythjng we could possibly need for our 6 night stay. Appreciated the comfy bed & cotton sheets. The surroundings of native & exotic trees frequented by native birdlife including ruru at night made us forget we were only minutes from a busy motorway. Would thoroughly recommend.

Simon’s place was far enough from town but close to everything. We enjoyed the peace. We felt like we were in a treehouse because the landscaping was so lush but we also had a little bit of view of the bay.
