Great place! Thanks!

We had a fantastic stay with all we needed at hand. The location was good for as with family in Tauranga and wanting to be away at the same time. Close to Waihi Beach where we enjoyed a couple of meals. Only 5 or so mins from Katikati for any shopping needs or the farmers market

Lovely Bay of Plenty stay

My wife, daughter and I had a brilliant stay at Ewe Cottage and Leona was a great host with great communication throughout. The property is very close to the townships of Katikati and and Waihi (Waihi Beach) for adventures\exploring. The cottage was also very well equipped.

We loved our stay here. The location is quiet and private with lovely views of the green valleys and hills. Leona was an excellent host, even arranging the return of a charger we left there. Just a quick drive to Waihi Beach. Highly recommended.

Great location near Katikati and Waihi Beach and much cheaper than a place at the beach. Nipped into Athenree hot springs for an afternoon dip. Private, quite and relaxing. Clean and well appointed. Will definitely return.

Perfect accommodation

This was the best accommodation we have had on our six week trip to New Zealand. It is a lovely house in a fantastic scenery. Everything was spotlessly clean. High quality equipment. We immediately felt home. The veranda was great for hanging around, having our meals or enjoying the views.

Rural Katikati

The cottage is very comfortable and well appointed. The surrounds are tranquil, peaceful farmland. Plenty of trees and a few grazing sheep over the fence. A lovely place to relax and only five minutes from Katikati.

Cute cottage

We wanted to escape the busyness of life for a few days, explore the area and go for a hike on the Kaimai Range. This cottage was perfect for us. Great location, well equipped for cooking, lovely use of space inside and a nice quiet deck to sit out on. Perfect!
