If you want value for money in the Western Bay of Plenty then this is where its at, Close to Awakeri Hot Springs , Julian's Berry farm and the beautiful sand of Matata, This small but spacious cottage is perfect for a family of 4 as we were. Plenty of bedding arrangements so we all had our own space, The peaceful and tranquil mornings was what really captured our attention the most, With 2 younger kids you don't often get to sleep in especially when your on holiday but even our kids 7 and 10 years old coented on the peacefulness that surrounded us. Joanne and Joe were absolutely amazing hosts, We had unexpected visitors just show up and they just welcomed them, Had conversation and all, Then Joanne as a host went above and beyond for us, I had burst a blood vessel in 1 of my toes and she assisted in every way she could to ensure I was OK and all was sorted. I can'tay enough great words about this host and Thier beautiful place of paradise!! Thank you so much and we will hopefully be back.
