The cottage was a great getaway for our family of four adults looking for a break in the country, and at a v convenient halfway point between many key locations. Would recommend this place to any small groups looking for a quiet time away, but the SKY TV and Wifi, and close proximity to Paihia and Kerikeri will ensure you have access to the rest of the world, should you need it. Fiona was an excellent host, v prompt and generous with advice leading up to and through our trip. We enjoyed harvesting the fruit of the cottage's orchard and trying the nearby Ngawha Springs (do recommend) and townships, driving through the country, and stopping by the Omata Wineyard in Russell for a late lunch. Thank you, Fiona, for hosting us at such late notice! All the best.
