Happy Days At Whitianga Cottage

The place is perfect for us. The accommodation has everything we need, and the section is big enough for our miniature schnauzers to run around and enjoy themselves.

Great Stay

This was in a nice quiet location with a huge section which was great for back yard cricket and frisbee, and plenty of space to park the boat. Kitchen was well stocked with all utensils etc…you could need. Excellent communication with the property owner, would happily stay again.

A Gem of a Place

The property was in a great location handy to the beach and an easy walk into town for a coffee. The place is fully fenced and our 2 miniature schnauzers loved running around the wide open spaces. Will definitely use the place again.

Fantastic Stay

We are so grateful to have had this property for a week with a big group and dogs. Stuart was so accomodating when plans changed and we couldnt have asked for a better spot. Perfect for dogs and room for activities even with a boat and tents and so close to the beach. Thank you so much, we would certainly return here.
