"Had a fabulous stay - house well equipped and comfortable- the heat pump was wonderful. Amazing location with stunning views. Had such a relaxing break"

"Wonderful stay in beautiful country surroundings. Patrick and Anita were very friendly, delightful and helpful as were their sons James and John. Thank you again Patrick and Anita for the beautiful fresh eggs, they were very much enjoyed!! Was very nice meeting them. Rob and Mary"

"The house is just beautiful and Tania is such a wonderful host. Best sleep in years. This is the kind of place that reminds you of weekends away at some relatives huge house in the middle of nowhere (yet close to the city) where all you do is relax, read books and play board games. Lunches on the veranda were just stunning and drinking coffee in front of the fireplace on the chilly mornings even more so. Thank you Tania, the stay was amazing!"

"Thanks for the extra things left in the fridge. That was greatly appreciated. All the best."

"Felt right at home. Couldn't get to the beach (possibly due to tides) but Kaiiwi Lakes were a lovely surprise on a hot afternoon. Well appointed and comfortable"

"Quiet 1 bdrm place so close to the beach. Bring your own entertainment- books, games etc. Would recommend this place if you wanted something basic."

" Luke: Very friendly and helpful Thank you"

"Nice area, lots to see. We toured around the north island and visited lots of historic and current events and entertainment. Our hosts were available when we needed help and not in our face when we did not. It was a wonderful time and I recommend the place for a nice stay."

"Great place to stay. Snacks on arrival were an extra treat. Nice and close to the beach and Dargaville."

"Typical 1800's Country Town Pub. Showing wear and tear, but it was a quaint experience. The dining room is the best part of the hotel. Friendly local people. We had a quiet night and slept well in our room. The water is nice and hot, plus ability to boil a jug in the kitchenette."
