Beautiful place with lots of additional extra touches including some baked goodies on the bench. It was nice to read how the villa had been renovated by the family. The host was very friendly and welcoming with her messages. We very much enjoyed out stay thank you
We had a lovely stay at the lodge. Everything was beautifully styled. Thank you for the fresh jam, the ginger cake & biscotti (and breakfast). We would definitely love to stay again if the opportunity arises.
Fantastic couple of nights away. This little cottage is so cute and cosy and the host is warm and welcoming. The decor and feel of the place was very welcoming - we loved it! All the quirky accessories made it an interesting haven for a break away - absolutely recommend!
Really loved our stay at this cute, cosy cottage. The extra cakes and milk in the fridge etc were such a nice touch. Thanks for hosting us so kindly Litza :)
This property was by far the best place we stayed in our trip to New Zealand!
As soon as we walked in we fell in love with everything about it. It is very well appointed. We had planned to eat out but decided to get takeout so we could eat in the room.
Thanks for the home made buns and bread!

Cosy little Bach, central to what we wanted but no carpet on the floor, bare concrete. Would be gr
great to have drapes on the windows. But we had a heater.
Thanks
We had e very warm welcome from Litza in her lovely cottage and enjoyed our stay!
We just missed e little more storage space for our baggage. But instead if this we recommend the cottage.
Awesum little cottage exacatly as its advertised perfect for our 3 nite stay
Litza was a lovely she had cake and extras waiting wen we arrived which was nice ad we had just driven down from whangarei i would stay again and recommend to family and freinds so thank you Litza
The Lodge is beautifully decorated with everything you would need, plus a few extras. Thank you Letza for the fantastic slices and hot cross buns straight from the oven. Highly recommend as close to city, comfy bed and with personality plus. Thanks for the stay, we shall be back I'm sure.
Host was lovely, and thoughtful home baking awaited us! Perfect little getaway. Would not recommend for little kids due to unsafe mezzanine sleeping… our 7 and 9 Y ended up on the couch.
