Overall great stay!

Really enjoyed our stay here. We were a group of 3 but the cabin was still spacious. Very warm and cozy during cold-times. The cabin was so peaceful and quaint which was very needed especially as we lived in such a busy city. Overall, it had everything we needed the owners were very accomodating and kind from check-in to check out. Will return again for a future trip!🧡

Relaxing

Relaxing/recovering post-op. Wonderful little house, comfy bed, has everything you need. We really appreciated the pellet burner fireplace too! Nice calm location but not too out of the way either. Thank you!

Rural retreat

Lovely rural property Everything worked, and wifi was amongst the bestVery convenient for TaurangaGood array of essential supplies provided We were not confident about using the stairs during the night for bathroom breaks, so used the pull out sofa bed instead downstairs, and that was fine

Good last minute get away

Beautiful property but no photos of stairs, it did say that the stairs were narrow but we thought nothing like that. Super hot in the summer but that is hard to fix. Over all good stay just minor things that can’t be helped like the drive way

A lovely hideaway and base to visit the Bay of Plenty

We had a nice stay in Whakamarama. The cottage was a lovely hideaway and it was great location to visit the sights in the Bay of Plenty. The house had everything you could need, the wifi was good and we had no problems with connectivity. I would recommend that visitors bring slippers for the winter as the fire warms up the house brilliantly but the floors are cool. We found the mattress on the bed very uncomfortable and the show pressure was very low. With these upgraded the house would be perfect.

Very snug warm settings and aesthetic. The fireplace was incredible and overall very relaxing and welcoming. It would have been nice to know that there was no phone coverage there but aside from that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Cozy Country Cottage

A beautiful cottage which we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in. It was very stormy weather during our stay, but it was a great place to sit in front of the fire, read a book and enjoy the view of Bush from the windows. We will definitely return. Thank you for your friendly hospitality.

Amazing stay!

It really is a slice of heaven! Pictures online don’t do it justice! Amazing little cottage to escape from crazy day to day life! Close to Tauranga but far enough out to feel secluded! We went for our anniversary and it was the perfect way to celebrate! Would 100% go back again! Thank you for letting us share a piece of your beautiful property

Amazing experience

Beautiful little cabin, was the perfect place for a long weekend away - fireplace kept us warm and lots of places to explore nearby for day trips. Photos do not do it justice, very clean and tidy, excellent fully equipt kitchen and plenty of room. Hope to be back again soon, didn't want to leave - thanks for having us!

Slice of Heaven

This is a wonderful place to base yourself to explore the Kaimais, Tauranga, Western Bay and beyond. We found Liz and Mike’s place to be the epitome of care, comfort, coziness and calm. What a perfectly situated home to base ourselves for our daily tramps or beach visits. We so enjoyed not having to drive very far to find a wealth of culture, tramping and nature. Our hosts were extremely responsive to any questions or needs we had. We are so happy we decided to base our two week stay at this cottage. We truly felt we started and ended each day as if we were home. We highly recommend visiting this true Slice of Heaven.
