"We were impressed with high standard of cottage.Megan and Craig very helpful and loved the honey and fudge.Mac the springer spaniel in doggie heaven!"

"A great option for a couple to get away from Auckland for a long weekend, without having to travel far. Great view of the water and nice walks nearby."

"What a wonderful place this is. It is so calm and serene with a stunning outlook over the surrounding farms. The place is a great size, it literally has everything you need (the kitchen is very well stocked and there are lovely Eco-store bathroom products to use, plus there was fresh milk, towels, a dishwasher, and washing machine), it is impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. There is a separate indoor dining room as well as your own deck to eat outside and soak in the sun and country...

"We loved our brief stay. A beautiful property in the country and so so peaceful. Perfect."

"Excellent little spot in Mission Bay! Sali and Brendon were friendly and accommodating. The unit is clean, private, and has everything you need (fridge, oven/hob, washing machine, etc.) Plus being able to have our dog stay with us is always a bonus. 😊"

"A lovely little place to stay. The hosts were clear in their communications and very accommodating. Thanks folks🙂"

"We had a blast staying here and loved the cow neighbours :)"

"We stayed at the cottage for a family wedding. It was the perfect place for us to stay due to the location, and it’s size. The cottage had everything we needed in a peaceful location."

"Very cute little batch, and super clean. House isn't the easiest to access and because it's not very elevated the trees block most of the view. However it's very private with a lovely spa. We did have two uninvited cockroaches surprise us from under the pillow - but there was spray in the house and that's the quirks of rural dwelling!"

"Ants, spiders, and mosquitos everywhere despite keeping all doors and windows closed. Amenities provided were only enough for one night, but property requires 3 night minimum. View was good but not worth staying again."

"Let me start by saying the actual property was fine. Fittings and fixtures were all good but it is being managed by a third party. This is where the problems start. We were traveling around NZ when the cyclone hit and I was trying to confirm that this property was still good and I never heard back. The day of our booking I got an email that I had to create another account on bachcare to get the info needed to check in. I wasn’t able to do so until I paid a $40 balance that I had no clue where it...
