Feb 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### GBI Weekend Was just after first flood. Wondered if we would be able to land or fly out but no problem in the end. Place was close to Claris and easy to find and exactly as expected. Drove to Tryphena and Fitzroy. Drinks at Irish pub was great. My fat puku great coffee and food. Museum n gallery v worthwhile. Bach was great. No problem with water obviously or power for that matter. All in all a great weekend. Thanks Mike ##### Tony T. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Susan K. Dec 30, 2024 Liked: Communication, location #### Bach living Great location. Quiet and close to grocery store and cafe my fat puku which was great!Some plumbing issues but thats life and have already discussed with Mike. Mosquitoes were a big deal for me as i react badly. Unfortunately Window mesh didn't fill all the gaps . Duct tape would help as a first aid measure or mike put some adhesive foam on the bottom of the frames already there. ##### Susan K. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sian J. Jan 29, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Classic bach Had everything we wanted in a good location.

Jan 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A great cottage close to Kaitoki A great stay at Kaitoki. Really loved the bach and it was well equipped and clearly described. Lost one star for an uncomfortable mattress upstairs, a bit firm for us, but maybe that’s just our preference! Thanks Mike for your great communication. ##### Clare B. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicola T. Jan 5, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Christmas/New Year at Kaitoke Cottage Kaitoke Cottage is a clean, well fitted out property in a handy location with great spaces for relaxing inside and out. The owner was helpful when we had a minor query which was quickly resolved. Thanks for the stay. ##### Nicola T.
