Book a Tongaporutu Cottage

"Fantastic stay, wonderful host and immaculate accommodation"

"Great property, lovely fire. Entertaining watching the cows pass in the morning."

"Great location, warm clean worked a treat"

"We always felt that Mokino had a charm and a warm friendly family feel about it, comfortable, and a very Kiwi atmosphere about it. But you can’t always rely on nature to provide a clear evening to view Mt Taranaki or perfect weather to stay on the beach for hours but that is part of the pleasure of staying at Mokino. We will always want to return."

"I would like to thank the hosts for renting such a lovely property to us. We even had a cat come to visit and stay the night. The views are out standing and i will return for sure. It was a ten out of ten weekend away. Thanks Craig"

"Great little kiwi bach/cottage. Simple and basic but comfortable. Fantastic views and location. Will come back for a return visit. Great value for money"

"Everything was great. We were greeted, met the family, and were given fresh eggs and milk from their farm. The king bed was so comfy. The biggest draw back was the road noise. Due to hot weather we had the windows open so we heard a lot of noise from the highway."

"A real home-from-home that has everything a family needs. They don't call it a 'retreat' for nothing!"

"The owners are friendly and quick to respond. The house is cosy, and our whole family enjoyed our stay. We really liked the comforts of home, including the TV, and also really appreciated using the kayaks and fishing rods. My sons were fishing most of the time! Just a couple of little things we have for suggestion: the beds were not made, however, we had access to linen to make them up ourselves. It was useful having the washing machine and dryer, however maybe the dryer needs to be moved outside, or a vent put in so it doesn't make the house feel damp. Overall, I recommend this bach - great spot!"
