Whakaipo Cottage, tranquility, comfort and views

BriannaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage! While it is located on the host’s property, it felt private and secluded. Jo and Tim’s thoughtful touches and well-stocked kitchen were very appreciated. The views were incredible and feeding the cute alpacas was a fun experience. The overhang on the porch also came in very handy since it allowed us to use the BBQ during some rain. We would love to stay again!

Kia ora Josie and Graeme, It has been a very healing moment this stay here at Baylys Beach. We live at Maketū Beach, where we see the sun rise and set each day so the bach felt right at home! So many special extras, thank you for every little well-thought-out detail! Will definitely return in the Springtime. To learn the connection between the Ramsey and Flavell families is special. Thank you for the photo you generously gifted to our whānau. All the best, Jade and Joe.

This place was even better than my expectations. This was my first Air bnb stay and Alex has set the bar really high for any other properties I may visit in the future. Kahu's View is quiet, the view is amazing both day and night, and the cottage is well set up. The bed is so comfy. No hesitations what so ever to stay here again.

Crown Range Historic Stables

BrittanyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This location is beautiful and Kerryn was very accommodating and communicative. The guest house is absolutely beautiful and everything was very clean. I do feel it’s worth mentioning that the bedroom and the main living area are separated so you have to walk outside when you want to go to each room. I also did not realize that the primary residence is right next to the guest house.

We had a wonderful relaxing stay at Kate's place. So quiet and peaceful in its rural setting. The cottage is beautifully furnished and has everything you need. Relaxing in front of the fire after a walk in the hills was sublime. Kate provided amazing extras such as delicious homemade brownie, sourdough loaf and some very yummy jams. We loved our stay here.
