Great cottage in a quiet orchard location but close to whakatane. Swimming pool was a real bonus as the weather was very hot during our stay. Awesome place and would recommend to others.

A truly wonderful place to stay. Heaps of room and the place was tranquil and quiet. The pool was a huge hit with everyone. Being summer we ate outside and sat under the beautiful trees. Our hosts are lovely people and were there to greet us and show us around and then left us to enjoy their property. They were only a hop, skip or jump away if we needed anything or needed to know anything. As the accommodation had everything we needed, this made our getaway stress free. Thank you so much Lynne and Bruce for sharing your beautiful property and accommodation and especially the pool with us and making us so welcome. A definite return is on the cards. Kind regards Carolyn, Gary and our whanau

Wonderful place to stay near Whakatane, a peaceful retreat yet close to all the town and Ohope beach have to offer. Beautiful garden and orchard setting and the pool is a major bonus. Lynne and Bruce are excellent hosts. When I first enquired about a booking Lynne was kind enough to send me photos of the stairs in case they weren't suitable for my parents who are in their mid- eighties. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay and the kitchen and living areas surprisingly spacious, especially when you add the outdoor/BBQ area and garden. Morning walks in the orchard were a real treat, as were the avocados we were generously supplied with! Highly recommended.
