An easy drive to Auckland Airport/City (40/45 minutes depending on time of day, quick access to State Highway 2 for travel south ... but in its own tranquil world of green countryside, birds, tree filled garden and Hunua Ranges backdrop. On clear nights a sensational grandstand view of the Milky Way Well travelled hosts offer a warm, helpful welcome, the pets are friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. The cottage is a short garden stroll away from the house, with comfortable beds (a queensize upstairs and a foldout bedsettee downstairs), fresh fruit and flowers to welcome you. A cot and highchair are available. The upstairs bedroom has a balcony looking out into trees and garden. Downstairs, there is a small private deck, and a sunny covered verandah. The Spring garden is full of camelias and magnolias, in Autumn, a riot of coloured leaves. Wheelchairs ground floor access only.

This wonderful gem in the shadow of Auckland, is a picturesque and extremely relaxing stay. I found the hosts, Robert and Gillian, to be warm and always smiling. This lovely cottage is a very private space, located a comfortable distance from the main house with a tranquil sitting area,books,music and television. The kitchen is well stocked with cutlery,pans and whatever else you might need. Upstairs is a large area with airy windows and a large comfortable bed. The facilities are sparkling clean even though you're on a farm. If you're lucky, several friendly ducks may greet you when you walk out on the front doorstep. The scrumptious breakfast is usually served on the expansive deck, looking out on the property. The beautiful gardens are alive with colors and sounds of peace in the Kiwi countryside. Rob and Gillian helped make my first week(alone and in a new country) a relaxing, enjoyable, and oh-so memorable New Zealand experience; with all of the charm and pleasantries of good company far away from home.
