A great short stay! Old-school cozy cottage. Very peaceful and quiet with stunning views of Mt Te Aroha from the deck. Walks are nearby and about 10-15 into town on foot. Easy communication with the owner, who is a gent.

A little place in the country

Great little cottage to stay in, secure off-street parking. Dermott, the host was amazing. I had to get him out of bed very early on Sunday with a flat battery. He gave us a jump; nothing was a problem. Would stay again any time.

Studio Cottage with a View

Host, Dermot, goes above and beyond to ensure you are comfortable during your stay. The little cottage has excellent kitchen facilities, reverse cycle heating/AC and a comfortable bed. The view of Mt Te Aroha is superb. He also has electric bikes should you feel like checking out the Hauraki rail trail. Highly recommended for singles or couples.

Quaint and cosy

Idyllic and perfectly comfortable for a couples weekend away. small town with very friendly locals and not far away from surrounding towns with plenty to offer. Amazing scenery and views of the mountain, plenty of scenic walks and small history based buildings. Great local art displays. The spa is the perfect way to end your day of exploration and ties everything together to make it perfect for an escape from your usual. The host is lovely and truely cares about your stay.

A few days at Dermot's house

My stay was for a few days to join friends for a cycling trip. The large ensuite room with kitchen behind Dermot's house far exceeded my expectations. Probably one of the best on my New Zealand holiday. The place is tastefully furnished and the bed comfortable. The kitchen has a gas stove. There are many little artistic features making the whole experience an adventure. My host had thought through all my needs and the short bread and milk were a lovely gesture. Locally there are a range of activities - walking and spa. I hope one day too return

Cabin is neat and tidy. Dermot, host, was extremely accommodating. His homemade biks were marvellous. The spa is perfect for soaking after walking. Thanks again Dermot for being a wonderful host.
