Quality 100% cotton linen, a spacious bathroom with a shower over bath and towels provided. An open living space with cushion-filled French-style daybed (provides extra sleeping for 2), lots of holiday reading and a kitchenette with everything you need for preparing light meals. The style of this holiday home is quiet, comfortable and relaxed. It suits those looking for a natural retreat, there is no TV but you can enjoy your own music by connecting to the wireless speaker and if you do want to connect with the world, free wireless internet is available for your use.
The cottage is set amongst 30 acres of regenerating native New Zealand bush. It's located on Mt Tiger, a beautiful elevated space with expansive views across a large native bush reserve. A recent addition is the two side-by-side outdoor baths. This private space overlooking the native bush valley is the ultimate in relaxation. Wind down with a hot soak and some star gazing at the end of your day, or escape the heat of summer with a cool soak, they are exclusively yours to enjoy.

About the host
Hosted by Justine
We're a family of three, we made the move from a desk-based city life in Wellington in 2014 to the beautiful 'winterless north', just east of Whangarei between the city centre and the stunning coastal playground of Whangarei Heads.
Down the Road is a celebration of all things local. An expression of the idea that no matter where you find yourself in this glorious country, you don't need to look very far to discover so many local treasures. Whether it's stunning sights, adventures to be had, fabulous food grown or created, or inspiring individuals with unique perspectives and stories to share.
Having traveled to other parts of the world, we've shared amazing experiences. We're now delighting in the abundance of treasure to be found right in our own backyard of Northland.
