My family and I stayed a few nights here while we explored the top of Northland. We were friendly greeted by Jenny who gave us some tips of what’s around and what to go see. Her communication prior to check-in was fantastic. The cottage was modern and comfortable and the winter sun made it cozy to come back to after a day out. The Pukenui shop has pretty much all the staples you need, and only 45 min-1 hr to Cape Reinga, Tapotupotu Beach and the Giant Dunes. The view is awesome from the balcony and plenty of bird life to listen to. Jenny was able to accomodate our little one with a Porta-cot so definitely check ahead of time if it’s available. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and look forward to coming back one day.
