We spent a week at Morepork Cottage with our dog and it passed by in a flash. Its in a great location about 1 minute drive from Kuaotunu beach, Lukes Kitchen, the cafe & store. The cottage is surrounded by large trees and a stream on 2 sides and a paddock so it is very private and quiet. At nighttime the stars are so clear, it seems like the sky is full of them. I really like the way the cottage was decorated, its really beachy and Kiwiana and relaxed. We didn't meet Emma, but she made the check-in and check out very easy and relaxed with very clear information about what to do and also good directions to find the cottage.
