While the bungalow being cleaned well and clean overall - keep in mind that it is in wilderness. It is difficult to prevent some of the nature getting in. We encountered some bugs and other pests.

Host was very welcoming and met us. Very pleasant. The bungalow itself had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable. There is also a shared washer and dryer that can be used. The surroundings were amazing! The garden and the greenery around is stunning! It is however not in the town centre so keep that in mind.

Having to carry luggage for a bit of a distance. A trolly would be good.

The gardens were fantastic and the room much to our liking.

The shower made the floor around the loo wet.

Slight improvement on the facilities would be good - e.g. washing machine in the unit, loungers on the deck

loved the location, accurate description of a subtropical situation. Service friendly and prompt. Great restaurant attached to the accommodation.

Large garden is a bit overgrown at places and can be a bit maze like.

tropical lush garden/environment and boutique nature of the establishment.

I didn't have any problems, but be aware that the pathways are gravel and dirt, so you will have to carry luggage (not roll) and watch your step.

Comfortable bed, kitchen very well equipped, cottages are private and surrounded by beautiful vegetation and birds. A unique place to stay!

Loved how quiet and peaceful it was. Felt like heaven, it was incredible being surrounded by subtropical forest 😍

Stayed in April 2024

Everything was perfect. 😊

We stayed 6 nights and it was a really good choice. The accommodation is a perfect starting point for day trips to Cape Reinga, the Bay of Islands and Waipoua Kauri forest. There are also some tracks to 5 waterfalls within walking distance. The Rainbow falls walk ist perfect for running. Our host Tania was lovely and gave us a lot of tips. The bungalow has a lot of space. I loved the terrace which was surrounded by lots of wonderful plants. We really enjoyed our stay.

Well-equipped and secluded cottage in beautiful setting surrounded by trees, flowers and birds. Loved exploring the garden and sculpture trail. The service was very friendly and helpful.

I was a bit silly and left the back door open all evening which let in some critters, big grasshopper looking things. Obviously this is what you expect when in this stunning environment :) I wasn't great at handling it, so next time, I'll be more prepared and shut the door early :D

The divine, serene, relaxed atmosphere. It was such a treat to be around such gorgeous garden and bush :) The kai was also some the best quality, REAL food I've had in NZ.

would have been nice to have some plunger coffee, they supplied the plunger but just had instant coffee available.

The place is very cool loved the bush surrounding, very quiet and peaceful.

The tropical setting was gorgeous, and the cabin so spacious. The on-site restaurant Maha was simply Devine!

The need to beware of mozzies.

The situation in the subtropical garden was beautiful, it felt very tranquil. The cottage was spacious, well equipped and the bed was comfortable. It was nice that the Plough and Feather pub/restaurant was in walking distance - the onsite restaurant was not open during our three night stay. Exploring the garden was a bonus.

Don’t like curtains in showers would be better as a surround otherwise fine .

Lovely friendly host and dog. Lovely soft pillows and comfortable bed . Lounge furniture comfortable and kitchen facilities good. Very surreal surroundings could be in the jungle .
