Head west and you’ll hit the charming town of Waiuku where you will find the beautiful wild West Coast of Kariotahi. or the calm of the Manukau harbour. Go tramping on the Awhitu Peninsula
The house has been lovingly refurbished, and has been brought up to be very comfortable and homely, the cottage is attached to the main house by a carport, and has been given its own private entrance off the deck.
You can mix and mingle with us when we are around or take some quiet time to yourselves
A fully equipped kitchen, which even has a dish washer and lots of cookbooks.
The cottage is heated and cooled by a heat pump situated in the lounge
The bed is a cozy queen size, and the bed is brand new, so it should ensure an awesome night sleep,

A little nook of calm and serenity
What a wonderful place this is. It is so calm and serene with a stunning outlook over the surrounding farms. The place is a great size, it literally has everything you need (the kitchen is very well stocked and there are lovely Eco-store bathroom products to use, plus there was fresh milk, towels, a dishwasher, and washing machine), it is impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. There is a separate indoor dining room as well as your own deck to eat outside and soak in the sun and country views. There is an off-road place to park your car. The owners are lovely and made the check-in process very easy, especially as we were arriving quite late at night. They were also very accommodating for us. We loved it here and will definitely stay here again if we are up in this part of the country! Highly recommended!

Perfect, relaxing stay
We had a super time away. Great property - well appointed and beautifully presented. We got milk and fresh eggs on arrival - lovely. The views were great and I enjoyed the guided tour around the property. We had fun exploring the Franklin district. Went to Port Waikato, Awhitu Peninsula, explored the banks of the Waikato River and much more.

A Summertime Stay in the Countryside
Friendly host who immediately made us feel comfortable. The accommodation is set in a beautiful location with views over the countryside. Beautiful accommodation. Comfortable and cool in the heat of the summer, with everything you need. A home away from home.
