Relax and Rejuvenate
I had the best 2 nights here - the chalet was clean and well stocked, down to the extra pillows, blanket, hairdryer and complimentary breakfast. The hot tub was delightful and just what I needed to fully unwind from the hustle and bustle of Auckland. This experience was such a breeze and I was undisturbed throughout my whole stay - I would highly recommend this place and will most definitely be back in winter to try the hot tub!!

Peaceful Puhoi
Lovely quiet cottage with an excellent spa. We found the stairs to the upstairs bedroom were a bit tricky. Breakfast included home made marmalade, delicious.

Puhoi
This was the first property we stayed at in NZ. A beautiful little cottage on a high hill overlooking Puhoi. Cozy and comfortable cottage. Great property with a small deck off the bedroom. Sat out and was greeted by a parrot and other beautiful birds. Nice pool and hot tub too. Peter was a great host aided by his Burmese cat Sam Very much enjoyed the local pub (great food and local beer). Highly recommend this property
