Book a Tongaporutu Cottage

"The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and the place is exactly as advertised. "

"We had a great stay at Awakino and the location was unbeatable. We had functions to attend in Mokau which was really ply only a few minutes away. We also traveled to Waikawau and it made it so easy to get to. I would recommend this premises for anyone. The owner was very accessible and very friendly even leaving some homemade biscuits and farm fresh eggs for us. It was an older style house and had everything we needed. I would recommend it for anyone who wants a good place to stay in the area. Thank you Jenny for a great stay. "

"Was a lovely weekend get away with the family. Grate views from the deck and rooms, with loads of space to relax in. Beach was warm and the fish were biting. Everything we needed was there and check in and out was a breeze. "

"Everything about this spot and stay was seamless and stunning. The views, the location, the ability to still work (I was on a work trip) and have reception was an extra bonus. The host was great to communicate with and there was everything we could need. So happy the fire was stoked and ready to roll. Despite being so high up and a heritage building.. the newly installed joinery meant the heat was not lost at all through the night and it was a really comfortable and safe stay. Appreciate the opportunity to stay in your wonderful spot!"

"Very comfortable. We were lucky with the weather. The wood-burner is excellent."

"Suited our group of 4 perfectly for a weekend of gravel cycling. Evan graded the drive for us and it was no problem for our AWD vehicles (certainly a challenge to bike up) and seeing your 2 x Nissan Leaf's at the top made me laugh :-) Ideal facilities for our stay with all we needed and the selection of records was enjoyed. Loved the woolshed, fireplace, bike storage and shower water pressure! We hope to come again some time. It would be cool to paddle a kayak on the lake."

"Thanks for letting us stay. The house was amazing, great views and very comfortable. We will be back. "

"Comfortable beds and great room & view. Not too noisy at night from the bar"

"Great find. Perfect spot to relax "
