Lovely cottage
Loved the cottage overlooking the lake and autumn trees. It is a beautiful arboretum. Cottage is great; beds are very warm and comfortable, lovely views from the kitchen and lounge, very quiet and private. Need to take food. Well-equipped kitchen.

Stunning Stay
Such a gorgeous stay and communication with the managers was fantastic! We arrived very late due to our maps failing us, and we were able to stay an extra hour the next morning :)

One night stay
Overall nice place to stay. Happy with the ammenities it’s quite basic and outdated but suits the environment it’s in, being lakeside and rural. Only thing was it was very hard to get to with the surrounding roads being gravel and was hard to find in the dark as the grass path off the hill was overgrown. We got lost finding it and since there was no reception we couldn’t message the host or call them so had to ask the neighbours. Unsure if we would stay here again as was quite stressful to find and wasn’t the most affordable. But for an off the grid retreat it is amazing and would recommend it for anyone looking for peace and quietness.

The property is brilliant. Communication with owners was terrible. We had to leave early because of a medical emergency. We informed the owners & never got a response back. Knocked on doors but no one was home & no phone reception meant we couldn't ring. We emailed instead but got no reply other than a message saying they hoped we were enjoying our stay & that they were sorry they had been unable to meet as at the time of the email - about halfway through our scheduled stay.

Yes, our second time to unwind, recharge, and just chill after working through Auckland lockdown being a Essential Worker! Having a busy hectic lifestyle, only makes sense to take a break and connect with nature. Read a book with no interruptions, spending that quality time with the kids. Perfect place to study too, or unwind from those intense exams🤓 Yes we will be back if need to unwind. 👍💯☕️🎶🎼🍷🥂🎄🍾 Thank you to the host for being very accommodating 👍🥂🍾

A rejuvenating experience from a hectic lifestyle. It’s peaceful, and calm! We’ll be back❤️
No doubt we’ll definitely coming back! Awesome place to start the holiday, peaceful calm, connect with nature! In comparison with Auckland city lifestyle, this place gives us the recharge we needed and just chill. The cottage is well accomodating, exactly what it advertises! So far from our holiday trip, your cottage has the best value for $$ From our little family! “We say - Thank you!” We’ve made some great memories here❤️🙏💯⭐️🌼🥂🍾

the best home away from home
we had the best time staying here, it had everything we needed, it was perfect. super comfy, with a relaxed vibe, if you are looking for somewhere to take a break from reality, this is it, we had our 2 year old with us and she loved it as well, plenty of space for her to run wild. we will be back for sure
