Hotels on the River in Kaitaia

A small but wonderful cottage on the outskirts of town. Quiet and rural, we wanted a place to relax without traffic or noise. There are sheep and cows in the area, chickens, some cute bunnies and pheasants running around. The owners are wonderful people who helped us throughout our stay. We stayed a week and although small, the cottage had everything we needed - and if not, the owners were right there helping. The outdoor seating area is great on spring and summer days, completely enclosed for comfort, a bbq, grill, and tables to enjoy, it complements the inside area which has the kitchen, bathroom, and bed area. There is always hot water, the cottage was super clean, no bugs to bother the outdoor eating area (nor inside), comfortable bed, and all cooking items that are needed. The only comment is that we left our suitcases on the porch area as there is no closet but, the owner brought over a clothes rack and we are happy to live out of our suitcases as we are competent nomads. We would definitely com back. Note for the area, there does not seem to be an active taxi service although there are a few in the town (you might see them), and car rentals are difficult - Rent a car before arriving in the area, it is much more convenient and less costly.

Great place to stay, staff were very friendly. Rooms were very very clean. Would definitely stay there again.

The property is older, but the room was very comfortable and the manager also a very pleasant lady. We enjoyed our two nights.
