A day trip to Cape Reinga via the famous Kauri Gum museum and cafe and onto Houhora takes you to the top of NZ and is a must, on your return a stop-over at the delightful fishing village of Mangonui, featuring the world famous 'Mangonui Fish Shop', which not only has the freshest fish in New Zealand but a tempting variety of home made gourmet seafood delights which are just irresistable.
A small house trained dog is fine with prior approval but definitely no big dogs.

Summary: Our stay at the Clifftop Cottage was magical, beyond anything we could have hoped for. A true retreat for rest and reset. We had a wonderful time and will be back.
Peter V. Feb 18, 2025 02:38:58 AM
Summary: From the first moment you walk into this little piece of paradise you can feel a relaxing wrap of tranquility. This is truly a cure for society ills. You’ll spend hours on the deck relaxing in the warm breeze, staring at the rolling waves, and listening to the peaceful sounds of the earth. You’ll forget what a loud siren sounds like, you’ll not remember insane loud muscle cars. Instead, you’ll find yourself again. Don’t pass up the slice of heaven if you need to rejuvenate your soul.
James G. Jan 9, 2025 10:21:19 AM
Summary: Cliff Top Cottage is perfect. Gorgeous scenery, very clean, and completely peaceful. Our daily walks to the beaches, two of them, were just what we needed to start a long holiday. Thanks!
