Dreamlands Cottage + Woodfired Sauna…

Wake up surrounded by native bush, a peaceful valley at the base of the protected Waitākere Ranges. From the comfort of your bed, take in the view through beautifully crafted timber-framed windows and watch the landscape slowly come to life. Listen to native birds calling through the forest while soft morning light filters through the trees. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the deck, or simply soaking in the quiet, Dreamlands Cottage invites you to slow down and escape from the everyday hustle

Cute self-contained sleep out.

Self-contained with bedroom, bathroom and tea/coffee station. Opens onto a small patio in our super sunny garden. We live in the main house on the property but our guest house is at the rear of the property and is nice and private. We do have a small dog that is sometimes in the garden. He’s super friendly but can be kept away if needed. Great location, bus stop at the top of the road which takes you straight into CBD in 15min. Ferry is also located in Birkenhead which is about 5km away.
