    Friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful, private, cozy cottage. Lovely views. Total relaxation. We had one day waiting for a flight so we spent it on the west coast and stayed here. A perfect decision.

    What a lovely peaceful little haven Jenny has created here in the winery district! It was so quiet and pretty, with a beautiful view. We came over from Australia for a wedding in one of the wineries nearby and I'm so glad I booked an extra couple...

    Delightful cottage tucked away amongst the bushes. Feels very remote and isolated although nearby small town is only 5 minutes away by car. Very pleasant, characterful property with nice decor. Beautiful wooden floorboards. Decent cooking...

ROMANTIC GETAWAY Escape to a peaceful and romantic retreat in rural Auckland. Our idyllic cottage offers rustic charm with modern comforts, nestled amidst rolling hills, perfect for couples seeking a serene getaway. Indulge in a luxurious clawfoot slipper bath, outdoors under the stars. This self-contained french-country styled cottage is away from all else. Perfect for a wedding night, birthday, or anniversary celebration.
After growing up in the area, and living in the city for a few years, we decided to make the move back to a rural setting. We enjoy the outdoors, go on the occasional hike, collect seeds to grow native trees, and distill the occasional bottle of limoncello. We also enjoy op shopping (thrifting) and upcycling.
Freshwater Farm is a unique and very private 13 acre property in Waimauku only 40 minutes to the city. Close to all the wedding venues, award winning wineries, Muriwai's unique black-sand Beach and the famous Gannet Colony.
