Ella
We loved our stay at The Heron. The cottage was clean, cozy and very private. We really enjoyed the incredible views of the hills and river. Rae was a wonderful host and we were very grateful for the freshly baked bread and treats in the fridge. We also loved our visit from Charlie the dog. Hope to come and stay again sometime!
Response from Owner
Hi Ella ! Thank you so much for your lovely Review and for taking such care of the cottage. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay here in the Tukituki and it would be a pleasure to welcome you anytime Nga mihi, Rae
Faith McCracken
Gracious host - aku mihi! Location is close to swimming beaches, vineyards, walking/biking trails. If you are looking for a reset and some peace and tranquility, this is the spot. A peaceful get-away in a lovely house. Fresh eggs were a treat! We are so grateful the to the hosts who shared their place and looked after us.
Sarah Perry
The Heron by the Tukituki river is the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. From the moment we arrived we fell in love with the place. The view over the river and the set up of the cottage is perfect, it has everything you need for a great time away. The breakfast provisions for your first morning was such a beautiful touch, the homemade bread was a lovely addition. We cannot recommend the Heron enough- such a special place that we will never forget.
