Apr 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A homely, sunny getaway pad Loved the polished wooden floors, plenty of books, games and well equipped kitchen. Sun streamed in the many well appointed windows, so toasty by day and cosy at night with the wood burner for a treat. Thank you for allowing a dog, he loved it too, the garden was a delight to explore. The wood burner handle seemed a bit tricky to close properly and it would have been a bonus if the spa bath had been working but hey, we still loved the luxury of a bath. Thanks again Kim for a lovely stay. ##### Margaret O. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harry T. Apr 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing in every way This is a lovely property situated just north of the Ōtaki township. My partner and I enjoyed every second of it. The check in process was easy and Kim is lovely. Everything was spotless, and impeccably arranged. We had everything we needed, and though we were not far from the shops or the beach, we were perfectly secluded thanks to the impressive native bush surrounding us.I believe the photos do not do this gorgeous place justice! If you are considering a stay in Ōtaki, I strongly recommend this gem. We will be booking again soon. ##### Harry T. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Muri S.
