Perfect landing place in New Zealand
This was our first place in New Zealand. Accommodations were clean and comfortable and the hot tub outside, surrounded by farmland and Eucalyptus, was lovely. The birds were a welcome wake up and the sunrise stunning (They did have shades to block it out for late risers too) It was an easy drive to Hobbiton and the Waitimo caves. I’d stay here again!

Restful and lovely getaway
The exact restful and quiet getaway we were looking for outside of Hamilton, but convenient to local sites and attractions (Hobbiton, Rotorua, Hamilton Gardens). Welcomed warmly by property owner, who was responsive and helpful with questions and needs. Fresh-picked fruit was waiting for us along with all necessities.

Rural treat
a little get away from it all, located in a beautiful rural setting but still close to everything. The owners are next door but we felt alone it was so quiet. Thank you again for a great stay.

Ōhaupō Labour Weekend getaway
Beautiful grounds, especially delightful in spring with the clearest nighttime skies, complete with a fire pit (perfect for making s’mores and safely enjoying the primal parts of life) and outdoor hot tub (wonderful under the night sky). Practically, for more than a few nights stay and with many children, you need to be aware that there isn’t a laundry in the apartment (so be sure to pack enough clothes, or, be prepared to take a drive to Leamington to launder your clothes). I also wasn’t explicitly aware that the house was shared with the property owners (I possibly mis-read this on the listing), but Colleen and Bruce were very accommodating, understanding of little ones, and didn’t make us feel like we were in any way a nuisance. You’ll enjoy your stay here, without a doubt.

Lovely cottage and location
Super clean, comfortable and amazing location for a short break. Good facilities including pod coffee machine! Our only issue is that we thought we had booked a place sleeping 8; this was not the case as the owners now live in the adjacent cottage, but they could not have been more helpful with the provision of a sofa-bed (with memory foam mattress) for the lounge to allow our 5th person to stay.
