Floyd Cottage

Lovely welcoming hosts, Lise was prompt and attentive. We just stayed the one night but it was a very restful and relaxing stay, very private and serene garden areas to enjoy, and all just a short walk to the Kohukohu CBD : ) Very handy to the pub and shop and just across the street from the bowls club where the locals will happily welcome you for a sneaky beverage, there’s some folks there enjoying a bowl and a beer most nights during the summer nights.

A Lush Retreat

Nestled in a lush tropical bush setting, 'Birdsong & Bananas' lived up to the name! It feels both private & secluded, while at the same time being a short stroll to everything Kohukohu has to offer. Lise & Claudio were thoughtful and communicative hosts, keen to make sure we had everything we needed, including time to ourselves. Comfy, super clean, unique...and a playground over the road in the local school which our son loved. Can't wait to go back!

Quiet lovely paradise

We loved staying in this beautiful cottage. It was so private and quiet and the space was beautiful enhanced with lots of original art which we LOVED. The daybed was a gorgeous place to relax and read and the wrap around decks meant you could seek either the sun or the shade at any point in the day. The local township has some wonderful art galleries and its just a short trip by car ferry to Rawene where there are several more galleries, puzzle and book shops, and places to eat. Our hosts Lise and Claudio were so welcoming and never intruded on our quiet time. The bowl of fresh plums was a lovely welcome. Highly recommended!

Tucked away and comfortable

Looking for peace and quiet in an idyllic isolated location? This could be just the right spot for you. Hidden away in the tiny village of Kohukohu on the upper reaches of hokianga harbour. Kohukohu is a tiny village, so it’s not the right spot for you if you are looking for easy access to city delights. The pretty village of rawene is a couple of kilometres plus a 10 minute ferry ride away and has a small supermarket and a great cafe. The cabin itself is set in beautiful gardens and is very well appointed.

Perfect !

Floyd cottage is wonderful, just as advertised. Really clean, charming, quiet location and a true home from home. It is a perfect little getaway gem, and KohuKohu is too. The locals are friendly and welcoming, and Lise went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. If you are looking to book a Bach, you can book this one with confidence.
