You can expect a warm welcome, a real flower farm in all its beauty, friendly animals (on the property but not in your accomodation), and everything you could possibly need during your stay- they really have thought of everything.
I’d recommend staying for at least 3 nights, we stayed 2 and found it wasn’t long enough to explore the area and the property! We would have loved more time to sit and enjoy the gorgeous pond in the garden!
We crammed in a visit to Cape Reinga, 90 mile beach and Te Paki Sand Dunes but missed the highly recommended beaches! (We did have a 12 week old baby in tow)
Polly and Jeff are wonderful hosts. We were heading down the West Coast to see Tane Mahuta after our stay and they suggested we take the ferry from KohuKohu to Rawene and to visit Opononi…which was absolutely stunning! We are so grateful for suggestion, they’re very knowledgeable on the hot spots.
Protea Park Cottage won’t disappoint!
