House was clean however we were little disappointment by the service provide! Toiletries were not provided apart from toilet paper. Would have been nice to include sheets and towels for future.
my friends were bit upset as WiFi was not provided and other things as well utensils were not clean. Happy that we only booked it for one day and not two.

Great location and excellent for a larger group of differing ages. Separate downstairs lounge for those travelling with older kids. Bathrooms were good with good water pressure.
BBQ could do with an upgrade as it is very rusty and on it's last legs . Other than that slight negative I would recommend

Great stay - thank you!
Thank you we had a great stay - the place was very clean, kitchen well equipped, modern bathrooms, spacious rooms/good room config for a big group (11 of us) including comfortable beds. Only downside were the creaky stairs. Great location - a stroll to the Lost Spring and walkable to the supermarkets and esplanade. It was a great place to base to further explore nearby beaches.

Family celebration
Great house for large group. Downstairs bedrooms got the noise of the creaking floorboards & steps but otherwise highly recommend. Close to everywhere & now we know what's there we wont have to bring as much!!! Communication with Kym was very easy.

Perfect Home, Hosts and Location
What more can we say... Needing a break from the long school and uni term/ semesters, we looked to go somewhere we could tune out from the "screens"- which made the no wifi more appealing, and more than enough to do for the tweens and teens we had with us. Situated with walking distance from the beach, Whitianga township and supermarket, the Cottage is a great location. We utilised the upstairs rooms with two couples, and the downstairs for the tweens and teens- more than enough room for the 10 of us. Kitchen well supplied, range of board games and gas heating for the cold months to keep fed, entertained and warm. Great communications with Kym who was very accommodating to our needs and fantastic set of instructions and recommendations when booked (and available on site). We did not see (therefore use) the table tennis, though this may have been in the garage which we did not access during our stay. Highly recommend.
