Ploughman's Cottage is a beautifully restored cottage with all the modern amenities set in a lovely country garden. It's located only a few km's from Ohaeawai, which has a store and petrol station, and is ideal for exploring Northland. We were able to head off in a different direction each day and see the whole of Northland with ease. It was lovely returning at the end of each day to relax in our rural setting where we had complete privacy. There is a main road around 100-200 m from the front of the cottage and we could hear some traffic from around 6 am but this didn't detract from my experience staying here at all. I would definitely stay here again if I do a return to visit Northland. Our host stayed in contact throughout our stay to ensure that we had everything we needed. She was fantastic.
