    Nothing not to like. Was walking distance to pub for dinner and grocery store if required..great location.

    Kerry (apologies if I got name wrong) met us at the cottage soon after arriving. She showed us around and explained everything we needed to know. She also gave us some great tips on what to see in the area. Thank you so much for that!!

    Couldn’t use the air conditioner because it was leaking. I contacted the owner and he was going to get it fixed.

    It was nice and quiet. Within walking distance to the shop and bistro. Blue cod and chips were the best. Kerry and Jo were waiting to greet us and show us the house.

    Tui Cottage exceeded our expectations. The cottage was lovely and warm, comfortable and exceptionally clean. There were so many New Zealand birds in the back garden! I have never neen so many Tui at once. It was amazing. The owners Kerry & Jo were so helpful and friendly, offering us a tremendous amount of knowledge about the area, and things to do near by. The beds were comfortable, the shower had good pressure, the oven had a gas cooker. We would most definitely stay here again. Thank you Kerry & Jo.

    Everything was super.

    Everything was delightful. The house is actually bigger than it seems from the photos. The sun hits the kitchen and warms the whole house pretty much. Feels very nice. The kitchen has everything to cook in, but there are also restaurants nearby and a good supermarket just around the corner. We found the best lamb sausages there... :) The rooms are good size, beds comfortable and shower with great pressure. A lovely place to stay long-term. It is within walking distance from the beach and a short drive from Katiki Point Lighthouse, where you can watch the seals. The internet was great for work. We would love to return and see the birds in the backyard. The hosts were very welcoming and took the time to come over to hand us the keys. Definitely, one of the best places we stayed in NZ.

    This place was so homely. When we arrived we were met by Jo who had the fire going, it was so warm and cosy. He was so informative with local information, recommendations on where to eat and what things we should try and see in the very short time that we were there. If I return I will definitely be staying here.
