Balinese memories

A beautiful ,cosy getaway with everything we could wish for. Beautifully decorated in Balinese style, a gorgeous garden view lit by fairy lights at night. Cute decorative touches in the garden,loved the 'pig'. Dale is a friendly and helpful host whose thoughtfulness made our stay so relaxing. And the breakfast supplies were delicious. Thankyou Dale!

Lovely night away for wedding trip

We enjoyed our stay in the cosy studio, which was the perfect place to stay after a wedding nearby. The accommodation had everything we needed (including an iron and ironing board), and the host had kindly supplied plunger coffee, juice, milk, a selection of jams, cereal and toast which was a nice touch. Thank you for having us.

Easy and cozy

Partner and I had to find a place to stay two nights for a Wedding in Otaki. Super convenient for getting to bed late at night and just plopping straight to sleep. Bed is super comfy and good water pressure for the shower.

Tranquil retreat

A small drive to a perfect weekend cottage for a nights rest and recovery. The charm and ambience was outstanding within the cottage and the delightful set up outdoors allows one to check out from the rush and running of life, a private wee space with a hot outdoor bath to gaze at the stars above can be accompanied with the amber lights of the nearby fire pit. It's a place like no other and so wonderfully put together by Dale with her light touch to make it a special experience. Breakfast provided and plunger coffee, waking up these additional treats sure does give you a sense of a home away from home. I was blessed to try the plum jam made by Dale, she's a talented woman. Highly recommend this place, I will certainly be returning. Close to the beach as an additional bonus, just a five minute drive to the very beautiful otaki beach with his a great place for a swim or fish.

Sundari Retreat, Otaki

A quiet and cosy self-contained bach. The host had prepared well with extras in the fridge and cupboards. The unit has its own verandah and patio, and access to the garden. My stay was 5 weeks but this was a great place to be even for a long stay. Otaki town is nearby and the beach is 5 minutes drive further. Perfect for stopping off, north or southbound.

A very special haven

The owner's flare for creating a beautiful, harmonious environment is reflected in the decor of the cottage which opens to a private outdoor area and to a more expansive garden beyond. The beauty of the surroundings is matched by the owner's genuinely warm welcome and thoughtfulness in making this the perfect place to stay.

The most amazing, peaceful and relaxing stay!

We stayed at Dale's lovely place for one night, and I wish we were there for longer! It was exactly as pictured, and better! So peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. Dale was a fantastic host, with great communication, and the property was immaculate, with everything you need during your stay. The outdoor setup was so peaceful to sit and relax, to have dinner outside, and the outside bath at night time with the lighting was like nothing before! We will DEFINATELY be back! Thanks Dale!
