About this cottage rental

This sunny, warm cottage is situated in an avocado orchard a short drive from Whangarei city. It is surrounded by lush green fruit trees and native plantings, providing a quiet, relaxing environment away from the urban hustle. The self-contained cottage is modern and offers all the conveniences of a motel but with the added extras of peace and privacy. A large wooden deck runs the length of the cottage and overlooks a lawn and the orchard beyond. Kereru (wood pigeons) and tui regularly fly overhead from treetop to treetop and many other bird varieties can be seen among the trees. It's not uncommon to hear the call of the pukeko and to spot rabbits bouncing around the cottage.
AvoStay Cottage is situated about 2km from Maungatapere township which has a service station, convenience store, cafe, art gallery, hairdressers, massage salon, general hardware and post office. Guests can enjoy day trips to the Kauri forests near Dargaville or to the picturesque Bay of Islands and the region's many spectacular beaches and fishing spots.

A great property, in lovely semi-rural location. It was well-worth booking a vacation there. Good value for money. Less than 15km to central Whangarei.

Lovely clean, fully equipped, new cottage. Warm home and comfortable beds, great water pressure in the shower. A destination in its self for anyone wanting a restful place to stay or only a short drive to Whangarei township. Great covered deck overlooking a charming developing garden space.

This lovely quiet cottage is very clean and well -appointed. It's off the beaten track, so you must take care and follow the hosts directions and signs, but that's also the wonderful charm of the place. I only gave it 4 stars for location just in case you wanted to be closer to the action, but then you wouldn't be looking at a farm property, right? Very friendly and communicative hosts rounded out a great stay.

The most beautiful little cottage in picturesque surroundings. The cottage was clean, very well equipped and cosy. Great amenities. An exceptional peaceful and charming property set amongst an avocado orchard. The hosts, Karen and Grant are amazing people who make their guest feel at home. Our stay unfortunately clashed with cyclone Gabrielle and Karen and Grant could not have been more accommodating by letting us stay extra days and ensuring that we were safe and well. They supplied everything in a time of meed and we will be forever grateful for their kindness and friendship. A wonderful place to stay in the country but without being too far to Whangārei. A great find and we will return. Karen & Family

We only stayed one night but it was perfect for us. Wonderful quiet location with beautiful sunset peaking through the orchard. Everything one would need for a stay…open plan, all modern amenities and topped off with a great deck outside. A perfect place to relax. Easy drive to town. I would highly recommend this cosy cottage.

Very quiet and relaxing holiday stay being only 15 mins or so to the CBD. Property was very well equipped, modern fittings yet homely and clean with plenty of room too. Owners were very friendly and with good communication and flexible allowing us to change our dates without hassle due to the Auckland travel restrictions. Would highly recommend.

An Exceptional Property

An Exceptional Property

Located about 12 km from Whangerei and if approached from there it is easy to locate. An easy drive takes you to SH1 and the town centre. The property is a delight. It is so far from the road, in an avocado farm, that it is very quiet and tranquil. It also has a small garden where you can watch the pukekos. It is clean, and well fitted out and furnished. It even has a very large TV with Netflix. We cannot think of anything that was a disappointment. Highly recommended and will certainly make a point of staying here again next time we are in the area.

Peace and Quiet amongst the avocados.

A wonderful peaceful stay with welcoming and informative hosts. Pristinely clean and tidy with lovely comfortable beds. A well appointed unit with everything we could need. We loved staying here with room for the boys to run around. Close enough to Whangarei and all its attractions without being in the hub bub of the city. We'll be recommending this place to all we meet.

Avostay - a real gem

Avostay - a real gem

On our recent visit to Whangarei we had the pleasure of staying at Avostay. What a gem of a place this is. Our hosts, Karen and Grant could not have been more helpful and welcoming. The cabin was immaculate and a really comfortable place to relax. Fresh avocados miraculously appeared at our front door most mornings. Many different types wild life strolled by as we had our breakfast on the shaded decking area. We highly recommend this accommodation and if we ever return to this area we will have no hesitation in booking Avostay again. Frank, Rosemarie and Lauren

Every need catered for.

Every need catered for.

AvoStay Cottage is a wonderful secluded getaway in a delightful rural location where one can enjoy peace and tranquility. Karen and Grant have gone to great lengths to ensure that the cottage has a full range of kitchen / cooking needs, plenty of bed linen, blankets and towels, comfy furniture and beds and many modern amenities as listed in their advertising. On top of that they popped around to introduce themselves and asked if there was anything else we needed, but of course there wasn't as they had already provided everything we could possibly want, including complimentary avocados in the fruit bowl! We had a wonderful five night stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage to others.

New, clean and tidy cottage with everything we needed including avocados in the fridge. An earlier arrival time was approved and the owner (and Neo the dog) checked in with us once we arrived. Very quiet and peaceful property and a visit by the bird of the year (Kereru) topped it off.
