Farm stay - Great Retreat with Panoramic Views

Large self-contained cottage on a rural lifestyle block. The cottage is located on the same property as the owner’s residence . A perfect place to escape the grind and get back to nature.

Property is close to Tangihua Forest where you can go hiking and hunting. Handy location to Whangarei City (22 min), and great for day trips to nearby beaches such as Whangarei Heads, Ruakaka and Dargaville. Get in some fishing at Marsden Point as well where you can also check out the refinery.

Come home afterwards to relax on the deck, and enjoy the sunset and stargazing.


NZ’s iconic Hundertwasser Art Centre and Māori Art Gallery, suited at the Whangarei Town Basin is well worth the visit. There is a cafe and on the top of the gallery is a garden with rare native species.

Stunning views
Great place for a relaxing stay, away from the hustle and bustle of people and cars. Unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side and we had to cut our trip short but we enjoyed our night and the bed was super comfy. Thanks Anita.

Beautiful Tranquil Rural Location
Well if you want to get away from the madness, this is the place. The cottage is very comfortable with plenty of space, and private. Full fridge, easy to work in kitchen and clean and descent shower. The view outside of the bedroom windows is of green rolling paddocks with trees, stock, cows, horses, birdlife, just so relaxing. The bed is of excellent quality. The hosts are friendly & amenable but do not disturb you. I would highly recommend this location and will certainly be visiting again. Thank you Anita and Patrick

Countryside comfort
A lovely self contained cabin at the back of the garden. Cows over the fence, kingfishers on the clothesline, sky larks on the fence posts - a magic spot for a countryside break away.

Quiet and picturesque.
Nicely tucked away from the crowds and chaos this very clean bach was more spacious than the pictures showed. Everything I needed for my stay was there, including fast Wi-Fi, many cooking utensils and crockery. The bathroom was extremely clean and the shower water pressure was excellent. With beautiful rural valley views and peaceful surroundings this bach is extraordinary value. Cheers!

Perfect rural
Perfect rural setting but still not far from Whangarei and beach. Great unit for a peaceful getaway. All you'll need is the food you want to enjoy. Very comfortable bed and wonderfully quiet. Great owners and value.
