Summary: Such a beautiful and tranquil place. From the unobstructed green views all the way to the estuary, to the sound and glimpses of this feeding on the trees. The house itself is so lovely and fresh and the log burning makes it cosy and warm. Our dogs absolutely loved it!

Summary: We were very cosy in this beautiful, private cottage. Delightful recycled windows, woodburner, and a view from the bed across the bay. Can’t wait to come back another time.

Summary: A private rural cottage close to all activities, beaches and Takaka village. The fire was amazing and was already lit by our lovely host Susan when me and my brother arrived. The little touches, the vase of flowers, the already cut kindling and the organic fruit were all lovely surprises. Would definitely recommend a long stay here, I hope to return soon. Thank you Susan and John for out delightful stay.

Summary: such a delightful cottage. plenty of space for 2 guests. very warm and cozy(we visited in winter), great firewood, night heater and stunning surroundings. Susan and John are excellent hosts. Are there when you want them to be but give you all the privacy you require. great to have the Weka's and fantails as your company. beautiful to see macadamia nuts on the trees, Susan was so kind to bring us some and explained what they were, as we had never seen them grow before. Beautiful deck around the cottage to soak up the sun . We will definitely come back Madeleine and Ron
