Abbey Caves Countryscape

This beautiful cabin is located on a property just out of town, in the hills above Whangarei. There are great views of the city and the surrounding waterways. Hosts Kate and Jake met us on arrival and showed us around and also reccommended a range of restaurants for dinner. The cabin has everything you need for a couples getaway. The bed was very comfortable, shower was great and there is a small area for preparing tea and coffee and a small fridge. The spacious deck area was a perfect spot to sit and have breakfast while looking out over the beautiful farmland

Nothing not to like

Did the job for an overnight trip. The compact cabin is very new and clean and has a sizeable deck space. Comfy bed and very quiet. Basic sink and bench has a mini fridge and a few plates, glasses and cutlery.

Needs a few extra touches like hooks for hanging towels and keeping the main door open, plunge pot for coffee. The black colour of the cabin radiated back heat overnight despite opening the main door to cool things off before bed- needed A/C all night on a not terribly warm night

The view was outstanding. It was very quiet and peaceful. The pod was fairly new but small.

The pod was quite small, so with two large suitcases it was difficult to find places to open them. Fortunately, we could slide them under the bed. Even then there was just enough room to walk around the bed. The bathroom was quite small but nice. We were cautioned against using too much water or power or we would be charged for them, something we’d never had heard before.

The view was amazing in a rural setting over looking Wharangei. The place was spotless and very quiet and private. The host was very gracious and friendly. The bed was comfortable.

It would be nice to have a microwave in the little kitchen area and an outside table for eating.
