Very pleasant and Enjoyable stay

We have stayed at the property twice now, and both times we have enjoyed the very pleasant surrounds of the farm life. The cottage is very easy to stay in and has a lovely feeling of being at home on the farm.

Perfect for Karapiro

This was exactly what we needed for our event at Lake Karapiro. The house was warm and clean and had everything we needed. The location is perfect - a quiet, picturesque farm setting and only minutes from the lake. Would definitely stay again

Lovely break in the country

Comfortable and quiet cottage out in the countryside but close enough to drive to town. Right next to owners house but very private. Ideally situated to visit Waitomo caves and Hobbiton. Great fun playing with Rosie, the owners young dog. A very pleasant stay.

No fuss cottage

We loved staying in your cottage. It had everything we could ask for and was lovely and clean. Unfortunately I didn’t get to spend much time getting to know the hosts but my husband did and enjoyed chatting with them. We definitely will stay again.

Massey country cottage

The cottage was warm and clean we didnt realise it was so rural and was difficult to find at night a solar light at the gate would have been helpful but other than that we had a lovely stay and would recommend this property.

Awesome place to rest up

We stayed with Kim whilst helping out at the local Regatta our kids were attending. Kim was great, as we arrived late check in wasn’t a problem. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed location was awesome with a great outlook. Somewhere to really relax and unwind after a busy day. Thankyou Kim & Peter, I reckon we’ll be back for the next Regatta
