A cute cottage,It is packed alongside similar cottages, so while you have a standard high fence it does leave some privacy to be desired. House was spotless with everything we needed. Great place would go again

We stayed here during dreadful weather, rain, wind and flooding. The house was great; we had everything we needed. When the weather finally improved, we loved the outdoor area. Will stay again.

A lovely stay if you’re traveling with a plus-one. A quirky yet comfortable environment that naturally encourages you to relax. Definitely most appropriate for short stays, with a nice location close to local food places + activities.

A cozy little home base in the bay of islands! I will say to be aware if you don’t have a car, it’s quite a hike over a big hill to get into Paihia if you need food, internet, or to go on a tour. House was clean and well stocked!
