Holiday houses in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

Really lovely quiet location close to Hamilton. We arrived late and had to leave early so we didn’t manage to meet our hosts. Instructions were easy to follow.

This is a lovely place. Great location with great birdwatching just down the driveway! Rach and Andy were very good communicators. Clear entry instructions, lots of suggestions on how we could get the water taxi/boat into Abel Tasman Park. Quiet at night, so great sleep. It was quite warm so the fans in the bedrooms were helpful. Loved the family feel to the place.

What a beautiful place. Surrounded by nature & beautiful scenery. 5min from the Karangahake car park. The accommodation was exactly like the photos. Very cosy cabin. All the amenities you could need. We loved our stay & would definitly go back.

Stunning. The other reviews have it right: the pictures don’t do justice to the views and the high quality of the accommodations. I’d add that while being off grid and peaceful, all main utilities as advertised were fully functional, not “glamping”: (cooktop, electricity, fast reliable wifi, plumbing, room heating). No A/C but the passive solar design windows worked like a charm for heating and cooling. Every day brought new beauty, interesting wildlife, and fresh-ripened treats from their vibrant garden. And don’t forget to look up at night, no telescope needed. My only note would be to have 4WD or nerves-and-right-foot of steel (or lead) for the steep gravel drive in. I’ve never been to a place quite like this in all my travels. Worth it in every way.

Another wonderful stay at this cottage.

Great space and the pool was a nice pleasure. Great ground level unit as well we’re travelling with an elderly friend. Fantastic sunrises and very private!

Great place to stay. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We did the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. It was great to have the hot tub to help us recover

Place was nice and clean, instructions made it easy to find, comfortable and airy, good strong shower!! Was situated perfectly for the activities we had planned

Absolutely stunning location and sunrise views right from the living room! Walking distance to ferry to Whitianga, a good 30-minute walk to Cooks Beach. Hot Water Beach, Cathedral Cove are an easy 15-20 minute drive. Don't forget to stop by at Coromandel Town on your way and hopp on the tiny train ride there!! Loved it. Will be back. ❤️
