Stayed Feb 19, 2025We loved this little cottage. The surroundings in particular make it simply special and it certainly has a homely feel to it. It is a little dusty, especially under the beds, so beware if you have allergies like some of our family do! But otherwise, a very special and unique place that we would stay at again.

Stayed Feb 16, 2024This old historic batch is nestled 10 kms up the hill from Piha beach amongst incredible bush and 600 plus year old trees with sweeping views down to Lion Rock in the distance. We had a wonderful relaxing time.

Stayed Feb 23, 2024We found this cottage - actually 2 bedroom house - on this site when visiting to our children's surfing competiton. It was only 10-15 mins drive from the beach and it was quiet and peaceful! We enjoyed beautiful sunset view. The house was very clean and had everything we needed, including linens and Wifi internet! It was very spacious, the owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. There is a really nice looking retreat on the site, may be someday we would stay there too! Highly recomended.

Stayed Dec 24, 2023It was a trip back into time. So generous of hosts to share so much of their history thru all the memorabilia and journals left for guests to peruse with care. We loved it. View would have been memorable, had the weather permitted. But, we did get glimpses of Lion Rock at Piha, & Michael was v helpful. Tha kyou so much. Annie P

Stayed Jul 26, 2023My 17 year old daughter and I recently visited again after 10 years. It was like a time capsule - exactly as we remembered it. Highly recommend for historic cozy feel, gorgeous bush walks, and views of Piha Beach, Lion Rock, and out across the Tasman.
