Summary: We had a delightful week in this 1860s cottage. It has been fitted out very comfortably and is surrounded by beautiful gardens including a variety of fruit trees. Fiona is a wonderful host, who responds promptly. It’s a 20 minute drive from the touristy offerings of Piahia and the busier Kerikeri so if you’re wanting shops and restaurants on your doorstep this may not be for you. If you enjoy the peace and quiet of the lush green countryside the you’ll love this cottage

Summary: My hubby and I had a lovely stay at this gorgeous cottage. It was like stepping back in time to my childhood growing up on a farm with paddocks full of delicious fruit trees. So much fruit to sample, and magic wondering around all the paddocks. Fiona was a lovely host and came to meet us with her wee son on day we were leaving. Close enough this accommodation is for easy drives to Kerikeri to explore but far enough away to enjoy the countryside. Would highly recommend this holiday property.

Summary: First of all Fiona was really good for communication as she has been spontaneous for all the messages sent. Moreover she was really understanding when we were running little late to leave the cottage. Property has all the amenities which we expect from one house name it from coffee machine to blender to cooking utensils and many more. Quiet place and very drivable location from near around other tourist places.

Summary: Enjoyable and peaceful stay over Christmas. The cottage had everything we needed, and is comfortable and quirky. There are fruit trees in the giant garden (lemons! plums!). It is just off the main highway, and was a good base for Bay of Islands and the Northland. ❤️

Summary: We stayed at the ploughman cottage in 2019 and fell in love with the place. It was just as delightful this time. A very special place in the north. A treat to come back.
