Located only 90 minutes from both Hamilton and Auckland this cosy country cottage is located on a working farm. There is lots to see and experience whether you choose to stay put or get out and experience.
On the property: There are three QEII Reserves, which are available to explore at your leisure. The opportunity to walk through valleys with fascinating limestone rock formations and the natural beauty surrounding you is quite breathtaking and it is well worth it.

Had a great getaway, the place is in really good condition and has pretty much everything you need for a weekend away. The cottage is very out the way and has great views.
A great escape. Cottage had everything I needed. Nona was welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed. Beautiful countryside, view, and birdsong. Highly recommend this cottage for respite and peace.
We truly enjoyed our 2 nights stay at the cottage. We loved how we get to enjoy the peace and quiet of the place while looking at the beautiful scenery. It is easy to fall in love with this place.
Had a great three days, the place has all you need. I had my laptop with me for work so didnt matter there wasnt a tv - not that youd need one. Would stay again
We loved our time at the Kaike cottage. A beautiful view out to the surrounding countryside and it had everything we needed. Nice and warm despite the colder weather as well.
My stay was so wonderful, with lots of walking and exploring the farm and local treks. The cottage is super cosy, especially in rainy weather, and has terrific views. I would love to visit again in the future!
We had the most amazing stay at this cute little cottage! From the amazing views/sunset, quirky character of the place and welcoming hosts - it was a fantastic way to greet 2023. Thank you for the little farm ride as well, that was a highlight!!
