Proximity to Kerikeri is an easy drive and the remote nature of the property was just what we needed. The property is well appointed with everything you need to enjoy a self catered holiday.

Thanks to Lindy and Rick for the beautiful cottage. We did really enjoy our stay. The access to this rural property is recommended in a Ute or SUV. The cottage was impeccable and the property is kept to a great standard

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Aug, 2023
We really enjoyed meeting & talking to Sergio & his family. It was a pleasure to host them. With regards access to our property; while a 4WD vehicle makes travel on ANY gravel road safer & easier, many (if not most) of our guests arrive in "standard" cars and have no issues whatsoever. There are potholes (find a road in Northland without them!) but as long as you drive carefully you will be just fine.

Great Rural Property

The property is in a lovely, peaceful location. The house has everything you need for an enjoyable stay, and is well looked after and very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay. Check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow and the communication with the owners was excellent.The only thing I would suggest is that it would be helpful for potential guests if it could be pointed out, in the description, that reaching the property by car requires driving for several kilometres on unsealed gravel roads.

Northern Trip

Cottage was perfect. Well equipped warm and comfortable. Hosts were welcoming and kept us stocked up with wood for the fire. The Public road may be a bit of a challenge for some - winding and a shingle section with large potholes but lovely private snuggly cottage at the end of the day suited us perfectly.

About the host

Hosted by Lindy Mason & Rick Atkinson

Host profile image
Rick & Lindy are a couple in their 60s & 70s, who "retired" to Northland from jobs in Wellington. We lived in this cottage up until a few years ago, when we finally completed our new home further up the hill. We have cleared and fenced the land ourselves and now we enjoy the results of our hard work!

Why they chose this property

Initially moving to Northland to be a little closer to family, we chose this property as we loved the bush setting, with the small river at the bottom. We are both from farming backgrounds so this was not completely new to either of us, and we had been looking for a farm further south prior to moving here.

What makes this property unique

The property is set in a tranquil bush setting - away from the hustle of the towns. You can enjoy a peaceful, quiet time at the cottage, or head in to the surrounding towns for more excitement!
Sit on the deck at night and listen to the Morepork all around, or watch the amazing kaleidoscope of stars in the night sky!
