We stayed at Kereru Cottage for one month and found the place to be very clean and all the supplies needed to make our stay a very pleasant one. The enclosed porch was a perfect spot to have meals while enjoying the lush garden surrounding the property.

Hideaway Haven

Loved our stay, which was a lovely break for our wedding anniversary. Had everything we needed as well as a great relaxing atmosphere. Away from it all, yet easy access to everything, from shopping to beautiful walks and beaches. Truly restful, with lots of birdsong.
