Book a North Island 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."

"Kims place was perfect. It was sparkling clean which made a nice change from previous accommodations. Very pretty surroundings and very close to the Beach. I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a country stay"

"Quaint little cottage, so close to everything. Transport is fantastic. Would have stayed longer here, you have everything you need and more. Very comfortable and the host Sue is very resposive and so lovely. Would recommend this place to anyone. Beach is just down road, airpot is 9kms away and no going through city to get to it. Beach front all the way. Thanks again we loved it. X"

"Quiet and private. Got a great sleep. Cozy bed."

"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."

"Very quiet and peaceful stay"

"Amazing little place that has everything you could need for a visit to Martinborough; short walk to town, and games and everything you would want for a cosy night in. Lovely hosts. Would happily recommend.. and come back :)"

"Lovely little hideaway. Close to town, but secluded enough to feel tucked away with a great view to sea from the deck. "

"Was a cozy classic feeling kiwi batch ,just a hop skip and a jump to the beach .with all amenities, we really enjoyed our stay ..good condition and clean .And lastly the owner ross was very friendly and easy to deal with ..highly recommended. Thanks Ross"

"Loved the stay. The bed was awesome and nice to have the spa."

"I took my 93 year old mum and she loved sitting and watching the sea and the people passing by. A lovely place to spend time."

"This is lovely and spacious home right on the lake. Plenty of room and a kitchen fully stocked. Rob, our gracious, helpful and ever-available host, even provided milk and butter for us. Perfect base from which to explore the greater Rotorua area. Truly Serenity on the Lake. "

"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."

"Great place, very welcoming and quiet, great facilities"

"Great location for caves & Hobbiton. Lovely peaceful outlooks. Thoughtfully furnished and decorated. Owner has considered EV cars and overnight charging is possible. Recommended"

"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."

"Perfect stay great communication, clean and tidy."

"Beautiful setting, wonderful accommodation, excellent food and wine. Will definitely be coming back! "

"No cooktop, no freezer compartment to keep ice blocks cold. No top sheet on either single bed, light over bathroom sink does not work, windows were filthy inside and out, floor between toilet and wall was dirty, no hand towel or face cloth provided. Only wine glasses provided for drinks. Only one mirror in unit, none in bedrooms. We can’t believe this place meets even minimum standards for guest accommodations. Only one tea towel provided, hot plate had no instructions and only Chinese labels...

"Family reunion weekend and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect house and location. All clean warm and perfect Thanks so much"
