Ontspannen, uitzonderlijke locatie. Geweldige plek om vakantie te starten.

De locatie met de prachtige tuin, rustige ligging. Zeer gastvrije en warme host. Cottage van alle gemakken voorzien. Goed bed, ontbijt verzorgd met bacon van eigen varkens. Goed bereikbaar.

A rare gem - Spectacular, idyllic Northland farm estate!

The very first word out my mouth upon arrival was “STUNNING! “ Wai Rua is 80 acre farm/estate of absolute idyllic beauty; neatly maintained grounds, with floral highlights present whichever direction one looks. The “cottage” is a misnomer; it is a spacious, fully equipped small house! Kitchen must have every possible modern appliance; the main room is well furnished and extremely comfortable; in the bedroom the king bed is irresistibly relaxing. The whole unit shows off custom installed wood paneling throughout. Then there is the deliciously heated (!) swimming pool with area to lounge before & after.Did I mention the sweet companionable house cat Poly? Hosts Elaine and Allen were warm and hospitable as if faraway family members from the first minute. In short, they were gracious folks through and through and first rate conversationists on your choice of topic…

Not a single flaw. After 7 prior visits to NZ, I can vouch that we have never visited such a wonderful property! Period.

We will be back..

Felt like an adventure entering the property. Very good getaway for couples wanting to relax and connect. Had to drive to kamo 4square for top ups but overall amazing property and experience wish we got to experience the hot tub tho. Appreciate the experience thank you.

We didn’t enjoy the hot tub. Next time for sure!

Beautiful cottage and surroundings

Everything was wonderful, I loved the quiet and serene setting most of all. One of the best places that we have stayed in.

My only small issue would of been to have the outdoor spa hotter, it was warm but it would have been more enjoyable if it was hot, the wood burner was out and we didn’t have a match to light it up.

Great wknd awayl

Arrived with a very hapoy greeting. The cottage was big and very clean. Breakfast was very fulfilling with bacon and eggs, toast and jam or honey and muslie with yogurt. Loved the walk around the big section of ponds and walkways. Would of loved to go into the pool but it wasn't warm enough weather.

Loved everything about our stay but was a little bit out of town. There was a bit of gravel also going into the road.

spectacular place to relax between touring

this is the most spectacular property I’ve ever stayed at. not only a fully equipped one bedroom en suite cottage but surrounding it was fabulous landscaping and ponds and exterior to that was isolated farmland with wild birds and ducks. wonderful hosts who provided a wide range of breakfast options. loved it

up about a mile on a gravel road though well maintained. and about five miles from town and cafes.

Outstanding; as our first stop in NZ it has set the bar very high.

Stunning location,surrounded by a mixture of farmland and native woodland. Overwhelmed by the number of birds that could be seen from the terrace and through the window. A comfy cottage with all that one could ask for.

Nothing to dislike. A few extra plates in the cupboard and some extra cutlery in the draw would save us having to raid the dishwasher.

It was perfect!

The location is so close to the city. The views were beautiful with native plants, trees and animals. The man made lakes are lovely splashed with lilly pads and ducks splashing. The cottage made of beautiful timber is cool during the hot day and warm during the cooler night and that bed! so comfy :) Hilight for my partner was the wood fired hot tub and for me...the beautiful breakfast available for us to have when we felt like it- The emon curd was perfection! Far exceeded our expectations

we didnt like that we had to leave- couldve quite happily stayed there much longer :)

The accommodation was well appointed in a beautiful tranquil setting outside of Whangarei. The gardens and view were spectacular.
