Book a Whakatiwai Cottage

"Stayed during the off season - Warmly welcomed by the proprietor. Adorable room in a quiet area with a wonderful view of the Firth of Thames on a very scenic property. Great sense of privacy and peace. Highly recommend, and will definitely stay again if we get to come back!"

"What a great place to stay. New and modern, super comfortable and more importantly, quiet. The check in process was smooth and i loved the warm cookie handed over. Staff are attentive, even sending text to make sure everything is going well. I was really impressed and will be back stay. Easy access to the motorway. "

"Thanks again had a excellent sleep...."

"The room was clean and had everything needed for a good nights sleep. Would happily reccomend them to anyone who wants a budget motel. Would use them again."

"The scenic view of the costal shoreline at La Casa were absolutely stunning.Hidden away from the public eye its beauty surrounded with well manicured gardens with lush foliage.Set above sea level this tranquil serene yet peaceful private lodge is highly maintained.Partically surrounded in native bush with echoing harmonic sound of native birds as they frolic near and far.My grandson and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves wishing we had more time to stay longer.We were gracefully welcomed finding comfort with guidance in the hospitality sector and would recommend La Casa Te Puru be your next accommodation adventure."

"Our stay at this property had a mix of positives and disappointments. The house itself was spacious and well laid out, with plenty of room for our immediate family to spread out, but also gather around the table for shared meals. The beds were comfortable, which made for a good night's sleep.However, the outdoor areas let us down. The pool—which was a key reason we booked this place—was not in a usable condition. It had discolored water and floating empty alcohol cans. The spa pool was damaged and looked unclean. This was especially disappointing since the listing stated the pool would be available.The WiFi didn’t work throughout our stay, and despite reaching out for help, we received no communication from the host. We also found rubbish inside several bedroom drawers, which raised concerns about the cleanliness of the property.Overall, while the house had good space and comfy beds, the poor maintenance of amenities, lack of communication, and cleanliness issues affected our stay."

"Great property with everything you need. Lata night restaurants 2 minutes away. Nice rural setting. Clean and quiet."
