"This large property is home away from home, with a well stocked kitchen, a very full linen cupboard and bathrooms with all the lotions and potions you may need. Added to this a fully fenced section for the dog and log fire and this place was perfect. Highly recommended, for the location (a very short walk to the beach) and a wonderful host who was very responsive."

Fern Valley Cabin - Native Bush Retreat in Otaki Gorge
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (71)
"As ever, my stay at this amazing cabin did not disappoint, from the attention to detail in the cleanliness, to the filled wood basket and already laid fire, which was even more appreciated as it was full on raining. The view never tires, nor does having a bath outside in the rain, listening to a thunderstorm. Rain, sun, storms and clouds don’t make a difference when you have a few nights here to unwind, relax, retune to yourself and just ‘be’. Going to book before they close for winter."

Artistic cottage and Garden sanctuary
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (106)
"We had a nice stay at this property - the spa, feijoa trees and fireplace were awesome! The beds and rest of the house were comfortable. Place is 10mins walk to the beach which was lovely. The only negative is that the lounge doesn’t get much sun or natural light, but the fireplace made it warm enough. We also had issues when leaving the place not realising that the cleaning fee we paid only covers laundry of linen. This wasn’t mentioned on the website at the time of booking so something to be...

"Beautiful warm, clean and inviting house. We had booked for 5 adults and 1 baby to stay for work putpises. There was enough room for all of us. More towels would be helpful as there were only 3. The driveway is really tight, but the garden at the end of it makes it extra challenging to navigate. Overall really pleased with our stay, great value for money. Thank you"
