The most incredible spa getaway
Stayed in the wonderful Swiss-Kiwi retreat on new year eve - after a scary 2 hour torrential rain drive from Auckland airport, my partner and I arrived to a wonderful welcome from our lovely hosts who took us straight to the incredible hot tub to relax and unwind after the drive. Thank you for being so wonderfully welcoming. Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway

Country pace close to city amenities
The property is situated in beautiful rural surroundings with Omokoroa Beach a 5-10 min drive away, and Tauranga city 15 min away. The hosts are lovely, fresh bread and home made spreads provided on arrival! The chicken is very friendly, the cat is more of a cat; friendly when it wants pats. Both cabins are close to each other and the main house, yet I did not have any noise from either dwelling, though I had been looking for a bit more seclusion for the intended purpose of my trip. Regardless, the hosts and location more than made up for my misunderstanding of the venue, and the spa...oh the spa!!! Beautiful to soak under the stars, even when it started to rain.

Beautiful place, lovely hosts who are always there to assist. Spa pool was amazing, especially on a night where the stars fill the sky. Fresh home made bread, jams and yogurt. Peace and quiet. Loved having our chicken visitors coming by for breakfast every morning. Bless you both Monika and Rolf. Thank you for having us over. Naomi and Rikki.

A Perfect Rural Escape
We thoroughly enjoyed our month long stay at the Chalet, the property is spotless and has everything you need for a long or short stay. Monika and Rolf welcomed us upon arrival and were available every day should we have needed assistance. The location is rural, perfect starry nights and Oh so quiet. An excellent country escape, a convenient location to explore The Bay of Plenty with very good golfing within 20 minutes! We would definitely return should our next adventure take us back to NZ.

Perfect in every way
Everything was just perfect. The host is very friendly and we enjoyed the hospitality and the conversations. The location was fit to purpose as we were after some relaxation time away from Auckland busy traffic and we were not disappointed. Monika and Rolf have been very helpful with "things to do" and resturents recommendations. We cant thank you enough for accommodating us at your beautiful Swiss-Kiwi retreat I will definitely be visiting again ♡

A perfect Swiss-Kiwi Christmas
Monika and Rolf were extremely welcoming and kind hosts and could not do enough for us. The cabin is very comfortable, the setting is beautiful and the personal touches made it even more special. And the spa at nighttime under the stars is amazing! Thank you so much Monika and Rolf and I would recommend this little paradise to anyone! Our stay made our first Christmas away from home one to remember. C + O

Even the details were right!
Lovely retreat! Everything so carefully and thoughtfully set up. The kitchen was so easy to navigate and well provisioned! The place was clean, warm and quiet. There was this pleasant smell permeating through the whole cottage. And Monika was incredibly welcoming and hospitable. We are really looking forward to coming back one day!
