A beautiful cottage in a private and peaceful nature/rural environment, yet only a few kms north of Otaki. Good outdoor deck seating. Note there is no WiFi at the cottage.

It really was a great place to stay! The house is lovely with spectacular view. We even had the opportunity to swim in the pool of the owner and had a nice talk (and beer) with him!

Lovely house in a great location. Great facilities, deck and garden. If you want to watch DVDs, take your own player because the DVD player doesn't work well.

Gorgeous rural setting, right next to a stunning wetland. Cosy, comfortable cottage with absolutely everything I needed for a self-sufficient getaway. It was very handy to the shops too, so I got the best of all worlds. Very keen to stay in this bookabach again.

This is our second time here and we have already booked again. A lovely relaxed setting, rural and beautiful. Only a 4 star for check in process as there was a wee delay in getting into the accommodation. But honestly, Barry aNd Helen are awesome hosts.
