A delightful, peaceful spot away from Auckland with all the amenities you could wish for.The cottage is immaculate and the bed is one of the most comfortable we have ever stayed in. The rural aspect, warm welcome from your hosts and friendly animals complete a perfect stay.Thank you Rudi and Debbie, we’d love to return!

Bad weather stopped play!

A lovely Bach with great views and perfectly positioned for exploring Manuwhai and surrounding beaches. Unfortunately, Cyclone Tam put paid to our exploring and we had to cut our stay short. Debbie and Rudi were great hosts.
