About this cottage rental
Our property is located in the Whau Valley, situated between the Kamo township and Whangarei Central so there are plenty of options to eat and shop, though it is a one minute drive to the nearest dairy, bakery and very good takeaways
A 20 minute walk to the end of the road you will find your self at the picturesque Whau Valley Dam, which supplies our town, you can sit and take in the scenery or find the tracks around the waters edge and go for a wander.
An easy 7 minutes drive into Whangarei Central you'll arrive at the town basin, known for its cafes, loop walk and the new Hundertwasser museum. The many fantastic Tutukaka Coastal bays and the expansive Oceans Beach at Whangarei Heads are approximately 45 minutes away. The Whangarei Falls are well worth the 10 minute drive.
The cottage is situated at the back of our section but separated by a creek you will have privacy. There is an unheated pool for your use and feel free to feed your food scraps to our family of forever hungry eels.
Check in is 4pm and check out is mid day but please ask as I am always flexible if an alternative is available.

We loved it!! It’s a little piece of country paradise; so quiet and peaceful with lots of greenery, yet town is not that far away. The cottage has a modern look, very nicely decorated and so clean and crisp with everything you need. Sarah was a great host. We liked the extra gestures; cookies and muffins, thank you. We would definitely come back and stay.

Quiet and private cottage in a large garden out the back of the main home. We were greeted with a warm personal welcome, umbrella by the entrance (it was raining) and little extras like chocolate and muesli and muffins. Very very clean and tastefully decorated. Great deck overlooking the expansive garden and a bubbling brook. The communication was superb with clear instructions and friendly check-ins. Totally recommend.

A perfect place, close to town, yet looking out from the deck at the end of a stressful day you would never know this. Your view is of birds, trees, fields, and the lovely sound of the running streams. We are so thankful we picked this place to stay. Thank you.

We were very impressed by this idyllic cottage in a gorgeous garden setting. The cleanliness and furnishings were perfect. The extra touches of home made cookies, fresh eggs, bread & milk were a delightful surprise. So well appointed - exceeded our expectations. The hosts are super approachable and helpful.

We have been warmly welcomed. The nice garden house is well equipped with love and we even found bread, butter, eggs, chocolate and cookies for us available.
The garden is beautyful. A little wooden bridge (illuminated by night) over an idyllic little stream leads to the part of the garden, where the house with terrasse is located.
It is a beautyful place with very kind hosts in a part of NZ that has several highlights. - Highly recommendable!
