Underwhelmed

The location was handy for work. The owner was really friendly and helpful.

The bath was in a room that had no front to it so you were open to the elements. The noise from the main road could be heard at night and early morning. The bed was too soft. All I could smell when I went in was a smell of a cat, obviously the cat had been in there. It looks very tired and needs painting. Luckily it wasn’t raining otherwise you would needs boots to walk across the grass to the room. I choose it because it has a bath, if I had known it was all open at the front I wouldn’t have booked it.

Great view. Had travel issues, so I checked in super late, but everything was set up, and heating was on, thankfully. Peaceful spot. Couldn't fault a thing.

Cosy overnight stay

Very charming cottage, thoughtfully decorated and with lovely views. It was a very cold night but the heater was on when I arrived and it was very effective. I was kept warm and comfortable, and enjoyed the visit of William, the cat, who was so affectionate. Great location and I was able to get UberEats which was very handy. Karen is absolutely lovely and welcoming. Thanks for a great stay :)

Loved the quaint cottage, a gorgeous cottage.

The location was lovely, just off the road but didn't hear the road noise, looking out to a lovely view.

The bed was a bit soft for me, I have a firm bed

HORRIBLE - DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PROPERTY

NOTHING. The hosts are completely ignoring the guests if in need for help or anything really.

Wouldn't give 1 star but had to to write a review. When mom and her partner arrived from Germany, they found the cottage in a dirty state. The bed was broken and unsafe to lie on, dirty towels who were just thrown onto the towel rail, ants everywhere, soaking wet pillows to "sit in front of the cabin" but the main problem was that the main entrance door to the cabin could not be locked. There were no written instructions on how to get the house locked. After knocking on the host's door (no luck) and calling them and leaving voice messages asking if someone could show them how to lock the door, my mother and her partner decided to look elsewhere staying in Tauranga as they felt unsafe to leave their passports, cash etc. in it as well as sleep there knowing that anyone could just walk into the cottage. I work in a hotel as Guest Experience Manager and have never experienced such "service". Completely ignoring a guest who needs help is just plain rude and disrespectful. Also the owner has now blocked my number after sending her the pictures and asking for a refund. I will now be passing this onto everyone and anyone that will listen and asking for recommendations in Tauranga to stay.

Delightful, but has limitations

The decor is really lovely with some delightful touches. Gorgeous rural outlook. A welcoming bottle of bubbly and chocolates was a great touch. Lovely owners who will go out of their way to be helpful. The rural aspect is a change from our usual stay in Tauranga. The owners would have let us charge our Tesla if needed.

The bed is an old wire based queen and located such that one of us had to climb over the other to get in and out of bed. It does sag somewhat, but to be fair we slept well.When we arrived, the small kitchen area lacked a toaster (the owners kindly lent us theirs and then got a new one for the unit). There is no microwave or other heating device, but again, the owners lent us their microwave. Realistically, you do want to be able to at least have breakfast as the nearest cafe is a drive away. We had dreadful weather, and the only indoor seating options were a single chair and the bed. With fine weather, there are good outside options for sitting and dining. There was a little road noise from around 5.30 am on along Moffat road behind our unit. The house is described beachfront, but the nearest beach is a long way away.

Poor

In more pleasant weather (it rained and blew a gale virtually the whole 3 days) the location and the cottage could easily pass for acceptable. Bottle of top-quality Champagne was waiting, but given the inflated New Year pricing, just cutting the fee and letting us sort that out ourselves, might seem better.

Nobody was on site. Long walk from the parking to the cottage in heavy rain and across the wet lawn and deep puddled path. A slippery slope up to the deck. A tree that banged on the roof all night in the gale. No milk, no coffee, no sugar, (but a few motley tea bags). No tea towels, no hand towel, no bath towels changed, and (because of the weather) they never completely dried during a 24-hour period. No ability to lock the room when we went out. The picture above the bed scared the heck out of us during the earthquake ... but that is nobody's fault, but it may be a good idea to put it elsewhere. We acknowledge we booked at short notice at a peak time of the year ... and therefore we expected a premium on the price, but even accepting that, the price and the property did not match.
