Stayed in August 2025

Lacked firewood (no kindling) and breakfast add ons (fruit) Bed was a little soft for our liking

Peaceful nature Plenty of blankets and towels. Well maintained

Nothing we didn't like. TIP: The stairs to the loft bedroom are very steep and need to be descended as on a ladder.

Lovely quaint cottage in a great rural location, but not far from the shops and other facilities.

Those stairs

Location so close to Auckland but in the country

Stayed in May 2025

The only downside was the very steep steps up to the mezzanine bedroom.

What a little gem this cottage is, comfortable and homely. There was everything we needed for our 2 night stay and provisions provided for breakfast were a bonus. This was the perfect place for us to end our 8 week trip around Australia and New Zealand.

A few more curtains for privacy is the only thing that I can suggest.

Breakfast options were fine. Outdoor furniture is an improvement. Shower was good with plenty of towels, and bed is comfortable.

The property got very hot on a humid summer day but did cool down during the night with a few windows open.

Very well equipped stay in an idyllic setting. So relaxing and in a great location close to Auckland. Wish we had more time to spend here!

Peaceful location in country, but easy drive from the airport. Cottage spacious and fully furnished and cute interior. We arrived in late with no time to stock up on groceries, and so appreciated the supplies in the cottage larder. Also appreciated the detailed directions, as we arrived at night in a heavy downpour.

I had booked this place last year as a surprise gift to my partner, We loved it so much we just had to come back. 2nd Jan we made this place our first get away for the New Year and couldn't have asked for anything better.

Nothing

Kakariki Cottage is a gem! After a long flight, it was nice to arrived in such a quiet and a beautiful place. The cottage itself is cozy, and welcoming. Every detail has been thought of—everything you might need is provided, including a generous selection of breakfast essentials like eggs, bread, fruit, salt, pepper, oil, and even treats like cookies and chocolate. It’s clear the hosts take great care to ensure guests feel at home.

Nothing to dislike.

Lovely peaceful cottage surrounded by nature. It had all we needed and and was very clean and homely. It was the perfect place to spend the last night of our trip to New Zealand. We would have loved to have stayed another night and if we fly into Auckland again we would happily book it again.

Not a thing!

Such a cosy little cottage in a beautiful and peaceful location. Absolutely loved all the thoughtful little touches like fresh milk, bread, eggs and butter and cereals.

I'd have to be super nit-picky to think of anything.

Great secluded cabin, everything you need is provided including all you need for breakfast and to make decent coffee. Cozy and delightful, great place to unwind.

No where for rubbish. Especially with a long stay. Only half brush and shovel to clean up any mess.

Attention to detail. Enough towels, tea towels, sheets and pillows for the week stay. Breakfast and Nespresso were a great touch. Great location, very clean. So quiet. Interior design very soothing and well done.

No microwave

Location, close to town but feel so far away. Beautiful set up so you feel comfortable n relaxed. Nice having a bath. We wished could have stayedlonger

Stayed in August 2024

Exceptional place to stay. There is a mirror in the downstairs bathroom but could do with a little one in the lounge area for drying hair.

Quiet and tranquil location. Easy to get to. Cottage clean and comfortable 👌. If is a quiet chill out accommodation you are looking for, this little cottage is a must.

The cottage was beautifully secluded and the included breakfast food was fresh and clearly locally sourced.

The ladder up to the bedroom was very secure and did not wobble but would be tricky for anyone with bad knees or balance issues.

Very comfortable with great facilities. Also very quiet - only cows for neighbours!

I had to go to the airport the next day so the location was perfect for me, and we were also looking for something quiet and private, so it was absolutely the right choice! I kept the surprise for my man and he was really amazed ! 😊
