The Dream Forest Eco Cottage was overall a very pleasant experience. It was quite easy to find using google maps, and if we had paid more attention to the signs, easy to find the cottage itself lol.
The cottage was just as explained from living space, to kitchen and to toilet. We enjoyed the surprise bath outside as well (although the water that came out of the tap was extremely brown).
We briefly met Liz and Steph on different days, both extremely pleasant and approachable.
The only thing I felt was withheld from us was the distance between our cottage and their family home. Although we were private in the sense of having our own living space and entrance, we were definitely in close proximity of one another. This became an issue when we had just put our young one to bed, and a few of their friends came over for a visit. We had to politely ask them to keep the noise down so she wouldn’t wake up, which they did no dramas. We just felt as though there was some dishonesty in their ‘private’ description on the AirBnB website.
Overall, lovely wee rustic cottage, close to KeriKeri and Rainbow Falls... wouldn’t say it’s a private experience, as you will share the many noises of children and friends during your stay.
