Lovely cottage, service and location absolutely delightful.
I feel sorry we only stayed for one night. A unique property and very comfortable. Breakfast was fun to make and everything there for a full meal. Thank you!
A quaint lodge in a beautiful and secluded setting in the Waimauku countryside. The property has everything you could need and the breakfast food provided was great. It was clean and quiet and only a 5 minute drive from the nearest town. Would definitely stay here again!
Surprisingly great cottage accommodation near Auckland. Could be good for an extended stay, but we had only the one night.
The property is in a recessed gully on the land, so suffers from poor mobile connectivity, and the on-site WiFi was no better in the specific cottage we had -- wouldn't do for us for a longer stay. Some of the other units (opposite side of the gully) may have better reception.
Hosts were great, and we have only praise for everything else but the lack of decent internet.
We loved the authenticity and cosy bed and fire. We felt the bathroom let it down. Nowhere to pop your toiletries. Rae was wonderful at bringing us coffee which was missing and looked after us well.
It's amazing ,very spacious for couples. Every thing was good: the bed, the kitchen, the shower. But we didn't have cellular reception at the cottage and the WiFi was bad. For dinner we had to drive for 15-20 mins. Be aware that it's abit lonely.we loved it.
There was excellent communication from staff in the lead up to us checking in. On arrival at the cottages we were greeted by super friendly and helpful staff. The cottages are absolutely gorgeous, photos dont do them justice. They have clearly thought of everything for the guests to have a well equipped stay. Will definitely be booking to stay again. Thank you so much vineyard cottages team
