We visited NZ for the first time and staying at this cottage was truly the highlight of our entire trip. We had the best sleep in the comfortable, quiet, and spacious bedroom. The windows open to different views, including the host’s beautiful rose garden and the majestic Mount Taranaki. Kelly and Christina were warm, thoughtful, and made us feel completely at home. Highly recommended!
Mc Arthur park was a delightful place to stay. Our hosts were wonderful and welcoming. It was so comfortable with the lovely kitchenette, and little snacks that were the extra little details. We had a lovely time. Thank you so much.
This place was amazing. We loved the view of the volcano and the cleanliness of the accommodations. The host was spectacular. We needed to wash some of our clothes and the host offered to wash them for us. I would definitely recommend this place and wished we could’ve stayed longer.

Comfortable stay with no doubt.
Cooking rely on airfryer / microwave in kitchenette.
We had a whirlwind trip to Hawera for the Garden Festival. Kelly and Christina’s home was a not only in the perfect location, but it could have been an entrant in the garden festival, a beautiful setting, stunning home. Clean and welcoming! The attention to detail was next level with little treats available to top it off ! Can’t recommend highly enough !
Our decision to get away to Hawera was made late, but we booked and were confirmed in just minutes. I thought the House seemed a very good deal on paper, but upon arrival it just got even better. Christina and Kelly were very welcoming and friendly, they showed us around and made sure we had everything we needed. The house is beautiful and very well kept, very clean, quiet, comfortable and warm. Easy parking as well. The super king size bed is very comfortable. Plenty of snacks and food available if you need it. Ten out of ten experience and a very comfortable couple of nights.
A perfect place to stay, very private and beautiful. Lovely hosts to complete the package. We've already made plans to go back :)

owners were very welcoming and inclusive and gave our grandkids lovely memories and treats
We stayed in Hawera on our way to Wellington. The hosts were great, the house clean and fully accommodated for us to have a great rest. It was such a great, classic farm house that lifted our spirits after staying in motels.
We enjoyed our one night stay. Unfortunately the weather didn't let us get a good look at the mountain, but that's obviously outside the hosts' control.
Kelly & Claudia were just the most amazing hosts and thought of all the extra touches to make our stay even better. We felt very spoilt.
