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.

We really enjoyed our stay. My sons enjoyed the pool. Great place for a get away for couples, friends or families. Close to the shops if you want or enjoy the privacy and quiet if you don't want company.

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage is spacious, private and tranquil. We enjoyed the beautiful garden and the pool. Nice walks in the avocado orchard. Lovely hosts. If you just want to sit at home and relax it has everything that is needed for a perfect holiday. Or if you want to go out and enjoy it is close to the Whakatane town center, beautiful beaches and walks. Highly recommend to anyone. Sreeja & Praveen
