Quiet and relaxing spot and the animals were great.Hosts were friendly and the check in / out procees was a breeze.Could do with a few more towels and give the pool a clean, but other than that, we had a great stay.
Perfect base for us when visiting family. Exactly as described in the listing. The cottage was warmer/better insulated than I expected, which was great. A little road noise can be heard, but not too bad.
Fine. Friendly and helpful . Seems that what we got was not what we saw on website.

The cottage was enough for us both
We didn’t realise that the pool which is advertised was separate on another property. That’s not clear on the ad. Didn’t matter to us but if you had kids it might.
Felt quite at home staying here as the unit was very private and surrounded by orange trees. Very convenient location to use as a base to explore Bay of Islands and Northland. Feeding the pigs and chickens was also nice, especially exciting for our little one. Claes was very accommodating and kept us well supplied with fresh oranges. Highly recommend staying here is you want some privacy and peace.
A very enjoyable holiday! Property was immaculately clean. Great swimming pool! Very friendly owner. Absolutely recommended.

This place was a big surprise for us.
This place was a big surprise for us. It was a bach with a bit of luxury. The bathroom is really well finished. very modern and the gas stove was also a dream to work. The kent fire wood burner is the added extra. We loved our stay, and would recommend to everyone.
Set back off the road in a quiet position surrounded by trees, it was a lovely quiet place to stay. The host was very friendly and so were the other people staying. So close to kerikeri.

Peace and privacy
We spent 3 nights at this little gem which is tucked away from it all on the edge of an organic citrus orchard. Simplicity, all essentials available. We particularly enjoyed being adopted by Nika the black lab who seemed to gravitate to our veranda whenever we were in residence! Would happily stay again.

Peaceful cottage close to amenities
Beautiful wooden unit in the tranquil setting of an orange grove. The host is helpful and friendly. Feeding the pigs is fun and you are never short of a dog to take for a walk around the property!

Lots of room for 2 people. Very clean and tidy. Comfortable bed and ample kitchen space. Surrounded by orange trees and other aspects of a hobby farm - chickens and pigs.
Very friendly and helpful hosts. Great base for Kerikeri and Bay of Islands. Highly recommended.

A peaceful cottage in a tranquil setting.
A peaceful cottage in a tranquil setting. Free rant chickens and citrus orchard make a stunning back drop for this little gem. Very well equipped kitchen. Everything we hoped for and more. Highly recommended. Good location to explore the far north.
