Book a Waitoki Cottage

"We loved the authenticity and cosy bed and fire. We felt the bathroom let it down. Nowhere to pop your toiletries. Rae was wonderful at bringing us coffee which was missing and looked after us well."

"Beautiful location to stay at and has everything you need for a low-maintenance classic stay at a bach. Check-in was easy and had great communication with the host."

"A lovely little cottage with a well equipped kitchen and beautiful outlook over trees and sea. This was a relaxing break that felt far from the city but was just a short drive to beaches, cafes, shops and even a cinema."

"Such a delightful stay with very hospitable yet unobtrusive hosts in a great location in a cute cottage. Thanks so much for having us. It was just the escape we needed."

"Excellent little spot in Mission Bay! Sali and Brendon were friendly and accommodating. The unit is clean, private, and has everything you need (fridge, oven/hob, washing machine, etc.) Plus being able to have our dog stay with us is always a bonus. 😊"

"Nice base for our busy stay. Lovely presentation and comfortable. Access is a bit steep from the parking spot but you can temporarily park down the drive to unload."

"We were staying over two nights to attend a family in Piha, and travelling with my 81 year old Mum, who has mobility issues. This was the perfect home for her and the extended family was able to pop in before the ceremony to say hello. Plenty of lovely deck space to spread out on without getting under each other's feet."

"Great communication with the hosts. This little cottage is an absolute delight for a romantic weekend! It was quiet & private with more than enough provided to ensure a comfy cosy stay. Breakfast included a range of tea & coffee choices along with orange juice, muesli, cereal, fresh fruit, yoghurt & croissants. Located close to a number of wedding venues & dining options, plus the spectacular Waitakere Ranges with its black sand beaches. We took the relaxing 20 minute drive out to Muriwai Beach...

"Super clean and stocked with everything you might ever need in self contained accommodation. Just like being at home and the supplied towels and linen are an extra luxury."

"Having the lock box at ground level was a pain given the hall lights were not working. Be good if it was at eye level. The property was neat and tidy. Had all we required. Would've liked internet though! Nice being upstairs for breakfast on the balcony. Great having a 4 Square right below us."

"On day of check in we received an email asking what time we would arrive and received no reply as to the address to find the exact location for the accommodation. By deduction and luck we drove around and around until by chance we found it. Host was very good in supplying iron and ironing board on request. Had to buy laundry detergent and no dryer."

"Lovely little unit, right on the beach⛱️"

"Our family group of 4 adults were all disappointed with how grubby this property was. We don’t mind things which are a bit shabby (carpet, paintwork, furniture, curtains) but we really like things to be clean! Don’t even expect hospital standards but not ….dead bugs, spiders, dust, cobwebs…. Hair and mould in showers, basins, bathroom mirrors splashed with someone else’s toothpaste….YUK. Kitchen equipment greasy and grimy. Also the downstairs bedroom was very damp and unaired and we had to move...

"I would love to come back in future for another vacation"

"Great home for our group of 8 adults, close enough to beach/ mudflats down a walkway, although you need to watch the tides. Very clean and tidy home, great kitchen set up and easy to access. Plenty of communal space to gather in. Comfy beds."

"Great Bach in a beautiful spot. Very well furnished place. Perfect for our stay!"

"Reading, relaxing, walking the beach precinct, watching change of tides and clouds and inlet. Loved it. Perfect few days respite."

"it was ok"

"Very easy check in. Room was very nice. Staff very accommodating and helpful with our toddler."
