About this property

Weekend getaway - Farm cottage

Located only 90 minutes from both Hamilton and Auckland this cosy country cottage is located on a working farm. There is lots to see and experience whether you choose to stay put or get out and experience.

On the property:
There are three QEII Reserves, which are available to explore at your leisure.
The opportunity to walk through valleys with fascinating limestone rock
formations and the natural beauty surrounding you is quite breathtaking and it is well worth it.
The wild life includes goats, turkeys, peacocks, hares and birdlife.
You may get to see aspects of the farm in action if we happen to be moving the cattle or other farm activities. Or you could just relax on the deck and soak up the view and
peaceful surroundings that this unique part of New Zealand offers.

Definitely a great opportunity to detox and recharge your batteries!

If you do want to get out and see a bit more of the area:
-The Tasman Sea is a few miles to the West as the crow flies, so you could drive to Port Waikato and enjoy the beach and the renowned sand dunes
- Nikau Caves is only 20 minutes south, you can go on a tour or a coffee fix at their cafe
- Thundercross off road bikes and cafe
- Waingaro Hot Springs under an hour away
Don't forget on your way home if you are heading north to call in to Mercer Cheese for a nibble
If you are heading South check out the Greenstone Museum and shop at Te Kauwhata

This property is definitely for those looking to unwind. Bring everything you need with you as the nearest supermarket is 40mins away at Tuakau / Pukekohe.

Special conditions:
No pets allowed as this is a working farm.
Smoking allowed outside only.
Must respect that you are on a farm and close all farm gates that you open.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to:
Clean the house, do the dishes before you leave and take your rubbish with you

Just what we needed!
The cottage is located and surrounded perfectly between beautiful hills and valleys. The ocean is within sight too. We enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets but most of all, the simplicity of the cottage. Just the kind of break you'd need away from the city. Thank you to Nona and family for their warm hospitality.

Kaike Escape
We had a beautiful stay at Kaike Cottage. There was some seriously dramatic weather, but that didn’t stop us from having a great stay and the sun came out to stay on the second day. If you are after a peaceful laid back time completely away from the rat race, this is the place. Beautiful scenery, cute spotless cottage with views to die for and friendly hosts.

Beautiful getaway
Amazing cottage, second time visiting. This time managed to take a ling walk off the short deck not looking where I was putting my feet! Totally my own fault!! Our stay ended at 4am with an ambulance ride into Auckland Hospital so apologies if the place had some things not left the tidiest - but the half night we were there was amazing once again!

Just wonderful
Delightful cottage in a beautiful part of the country. The views are amazing, even on a not so clear day. We got a lovely welcome by Nona and enjoyed the little thoughtful interior touches incl. fresh flowers. Planned to get through my book but didn't get there as we just sat on the veranda enjoying the view and quiet. Went for a little walk on the farm too which was lovely. Would certainly recommend and would certainly book again.

Amazing stay, lovely view and accommodation for a break away. Make sure to go prepared with food and to drive a back gravel road. Hosts were amazing and very hospitable. Checked out the local caves and hikes. Will definitely try to get back there.

Not a B&B.
It's a great place to stay if you know that there are no restaurants in the area and there are no stores in the area. If I had known that, I would have purchased food 1st thing.

A perfect getaway so close to Auckland but feels days away. Best for those who just want to soak up the countryside and breathe. Heaps of walking options. The cottage is very comfy with cool interior design features, and hosts are very friendly.
