Great property for a relaxing long weekend away. Perfect for 2 adults, 6 year old and 2 dogs, central location close to local attractions. Peaceful on site, nice gardens and well equipped for making light meals with bbq or hot plates/oven. Very relaxing and enjoyable.
Loved this cottage set in a beautiful location. Had everything we needed for a relaxing peaceful weekend away. Loved the outdoor baths too.
Would highly recommended!!
A lovely, tastefully decorated cottage with all the amenities. The bush walk was more of a hike than a walk, steep hill back up so would need a reasonable amount of fitness to attempt. Also the right shoes as there are rocks and uneven ground. Great location. Very clean and comfortable it's obvious a lot of thought has gone into providing everything you'll need. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evenings, under the outdoor heater. Great BBQ too!
We really enjoyed our four-day stay. The beautiful cottage set in a very peaceful environment was perfect for us to recharge our batteries. Our English Bulldog loved it too!
Excellent service, very clean and tidy, with great eye for detail. We will definitely go back.
Just like the photos, it was incredibly styled, and immediately felt peaceful and serene. My kids loved the little games in the cupboard and the home made noughts and crosses outside, and my dogs adored the bush. Great location. Would make the perfect romantic getaway
We had a great time. The place was amazing. I ate a lot of fresh fruit picked straight from the trees. That homemade marmalade was to so good!
Will recommend this place.

Thanks so much Jessica, we're glad you enjoyed yourselves, it was a pleasure to host you and the family!
The look and feel of the cottage, and the overall environment is simply divine. This was a wonderful place for us to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. It was a huge bonus being able to have our seventeen year old dog stay with us. Thank you so much.
We had such a wonderful stay at the Orchard Cottage. Justine is very helpful and welcoming. We loved the shabby chic style and the breakfast basket with local products was a treat. Thank you (from our two dogs too!)
We stayed for a week with our dog. Loved our stay, really peaceful and relaxing mixed in with activities near by like kayaking, hiking and swimming. Place is lovely and comfortable with many different spots to relax with a tea or wine. Great views, bird life, sunsets sitting in the orchard, orchard fruits and honey. We played board games and visited the attractions within a shortish drive. Recommended nearby Ocean Beach, Smugglers Cove walk, Mt Manaia, Whangarei Farmers Market. I quite liked the walk to the stream but old dog refused to do it by the third time. Honey and chutney produced by the owner is delishious too.

So great to hear that you loved your stay and were able to discover so many of the treasures, both on the property and close by. We love to host well-behaved pups like yours too!
Gorgeous little cottage with everything you need for a really comfortable stay. Spectacular views and very friendly hosts. So much to explore in the area
I cannot rate this property or Justine high enough. It is as gorgeous as it looks in the photo’s, but even better when you walk in the door. Such a warm inviting peaceful retreat where the tiniest of details have been thought of to make your stay very special. It really is a little piece of paradise.
