What a charming little cottage in a most picturesque spot. With 3 bedrooms it gave our family of four a comfortable, sweet home away from home. The fully equipped kitchen and laundry provides everything you need to be self sufficient. Aircon, wood fire & hot tub all catering for multiple weather conditions. Highly recommend.

This was a favorite space of everyone in my family! The indoor space was fantastic, and I loved the hot tub. The sun room! I just loved spending the rainy evening curled up in the sun room reading a book. My sons enjoyed the provided board games, everyone slept well, and we all loved the quirky fun decor. The host was super responsive and wonderful.

Spa pool didn't work the whole time we were there. And no compensation was offered. There was also possibly rats in the walls (sounded way too big for mice).Cottage was cute but to cluttered with trinkets - some where very dusty.

A uniquely decorated cottage, very comfortable and quiet. The owner provided a comprehensive folder of instructions for all devices. The hot tub was ready for use on our arrival. The Karangahake Gorge walkway is close by and although some of the tracks were closed, we enjoyed the walk through the tunnel and beside the river. Would happily stay again.

It has a hot pool!

We had a lovely winter getaway for a couple of days, and especially enjoyed the enormous hot tub. The walks nearby are great, but please note that cafe listed as being 2 mins away no longer exists, so you do need to drive to get food or walk the 6km or so one way to the Waikino Tavern. The house is old, but well kept and clean except for a funky smell in the rear room. Overall we had a great time and would recommend to anyone :)
