Summary: Great place to stay. Easy as had a function at lodge down the road
Raewyn L. Feb 25, 2024 08:18:42 AM
Summary: Has everything you would want for a relaxed stay.
Nicole R. Apr 28, 2023 05:13:34 AM
Summary: This was the perfect location for our family to stay while exploring the North Island- out of the city lights and noises. Easy access to highways, and great local coffee shops and restaurants close by. The home is on a beautiful property, 3 bedrooms to spread out in, cute backyard patio, basketball court (much to my boys' delight), and pool (although we didn't use much due to the season). The hosts were so friendly, and even did a load of laundry for us, with the washing machine being broken. Would highly recommend!

Emma R. Nov 28, 2022 07:00:04 PM
Summary: Cute, well maintained bach. Owners are very nice people. Pool is heated which was lovely.
William H. Nov 6, 2022 03:32:44 PM
Summary: We found the property very comfortable, big enough for the four adults in our party. Kristy was an excellent host there to greet us on our arrival but she also respects her guests privacy. She had left us a complimentary breakfast which was very thoughtful. The property is about 35 minutes drive from Auckland. Close to the road but the garage acts as a buffer from the traffic noise, which isn’t that heavy. Pool located behind the main house but there is a little yard behind the cottage and the sheep are very friendly. BBQ also supplied at the cottage. We enjoyed our stay.

Summary: Great space for our short stay. Host were great and location was perfect
Louise S. Oct 28, 2022 05:09:13 AM
Summary: Welcomed by the host who was so kind to allow us to arrive earlier than normal time. The cottage is so lovely and homely. The setting beautiful with paddocks with lambs. Listening to the wildlife outside was incredible . Birds singing their beautiful tunes . Amentities were well kept and clean and bedding and towels in abundance . Received a generous courtesy bag of goodies including chocolate orange juice cream yoghurt along with lots of goodies for breakfast . We could have stayed longer to enjoy the country setting. Kumeu and surrounding areas have so much to offer and this great spot adds to the amazing time you will have if you visit. Highly recommend the cottage and hosts to my family and friends
