Kathy Mcquillan-Brown
We had a lovely break near Karamea. This little cottage had everything we needed. Quiet, clean, comfortable. Friendly host, easy communication. Close to the beaches, estuary and walking tracks and just a short drive to the village (where there is a fantastic Dutch bakery - not to be missed!) Thank you Liana and your super friendly dog Pipi for your warm welcome.

Lovely cosy cottage, nice quiet setting. Loved the hot tub. Really enjoyed our stay, hopefully soon again.
