Awesome stay
We stayed for 5 nights and could not have asked for anything more! Kris went out of her way to make sure you had everything you needed and if you didnt need anything, you had your privacy on their beautiful property. A very special place that we are very grateful to have stayed at.

Unreal views & the best spot to relax!
This place was awesome! The cottage was super cozy and had everything we needed. The view over the harbor was insane, especially at sunrise from the pool. The spa at night was perfect for relaxing. Everything was really clean, and the hosts were honestly the best—super nice and gave us total privacy but were always there if we needed anything. Just an all-round amazing spot. Would 100% stay again!

one of the best accomodations we have ever stayed
what a treat! I was tempted to keep this secret because it is a true gem. Everything was absolutely perfect, the immaculate lawns, the refreshing and clean pool, the hot spa pool with full privacy, the comfy bed and the overall relaxed vibe. Shall I mention the million dollars view on the Bowenton harbour straight from the bed? Beautiful. Kris is incredibly kind and has some cute fluffy chickens and adorable labradors (they live in the separate property, but we asked to meet them) and it simply made our holiday staying here. We cannot wait to be back! Thank you so much

A little slice of paradise
I had a marvellous stay, it’s a little slice of paradise, hidden along the road between Waihi and Katikati. The pool, spa pool, lemon orchard and waterviews were all wonderful, the garden was filled with bird song, and Kris looked after me really well while giving me all the privacy I could ask for during a relaxing stay. Would 100% recommend (and come back!).

Perfect Week
I spent a perfect week at this lovely studio. Kris was such a helpful hostess - she really went out of her way to help with restaurants, places to visit in the area, and especially knitting advice! The apartment is fully furnished with everything you might need, and everything was spotlessly clean. The bathroom is wonderful, and everything was truly comfortable. Highly recommended!!!

Super Stay
The beautiful images of the batch and location proved to be very accurate. Quite a private paradise that exceeded our high expectations. Everything you could hope for in a relaxing setting. All appointments are as needed for a beautifully relaxing time. The Spa and the pool were a major bonus. Wonderful hosts. We recommend highly to all couples and we will certainly return soon.

A perfect relaxing oasis
This was just what hubby and I needed. Beautiful outlook to Matakana and Mount Maunganui. Close to Waihi Beach and Tanners Point. It is close to the main road, but you wouldn't think so, as it is nice and secluded. Kris is lovely and it was wonderful to see her beautiful dogs. Great to have a spa and pool next to it for a crazy winter dip after being in the spa. Lovely relaxing, clean and comfortable accommodation.

Ticks all Boxes and more
What a pleasure to share a slice of semi rural living. Whilst the cottage is adjacent to the main house, the host affords us complete privacy. You know they have thought of everything when even the toilet paper has a flourish. Communcation was a breeze. Splendid views. Hygiene was fantastic. Crisp white sheets and comfy bed. They've thought of everything you need and more. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Thanks to our hosts
