A lovely retreat!
Great communication with the hosts. This little cottage is an absolute delight for a romantic weekend! It was quiet & private with more than enough provided to ensure a comfy cosy stay. Breakfast included a range of tea & coffee choices along with orange juice, muesli, cereal, fresh fruit, yoghurt & croissants. Located close to a number of wedding venues & dining options, plus the spectacular Waitakere Ranges with its black sand beaches. We took the relaxing 20 minute drive out to Muriwai Beach to see the wave riders & a magical sunset. A definite favourite!

Wonderful Stay
Beautiful setting just outside of Auckland. The accommodations are comfortable, spacious with a very modern kitchen. Quiet surroundings in the country, closest neighbour is a flock of sheep the field next door! Easy drive to Auckland, but we took the train in - 12 minute drive to station and 40 minute train ride. Host was very helpful. Highly recommend!

We loved the surroundings with the sheep in the paddock and listening to the birds. The cottage is beautifully furnished and presented, more then we expected. The breakfasts included were great. We loved our stay at Totara Cottage and look forward to another visit.

It is a lovely place and hosts are accomodating and thoughtful. Just FYI there is no wifi which makes this the a great place to "unplug".

The Retreat Place
This cottage is the perfect place to retreat. The quiet and expanse of the outdoors invites one to reflect, to listen. I was able to relax, to let stress roll off down the hills.

Cosy rural cottage
Cosy rural retreat, but town only 5 mins away if supplies are needed. Very peaceful, easy to find from directions. Lovely homely touches from from fresh flowers , to a welcome box of chocolates, the cottage has everything you need. Very highly recommended.

Rural retreat
So many little extras that made my stay just perfect. I felt safe, and enjoyed watching the rabbits bouncing through the grass. It is definitely a rural retreat - no shops, beach, or buses. I loved it.

This place was an absolute pleasure & privilege to stay at. The peace & quiet, & oh so tranquil!! In the countryside so lovely & dark at night & the stars so bright! No TV or Radio was an added bonus because you could just relax & drink in the peace & beauty! Sit on the deck to enjoy your meals & relax. Gorgeous sheep with black faces in the paddock next door, & the occasional rabbit in the field & lots of local bird life. Our hosts Austin & Jane were amazing & we got on so well & nothing was any trouble! Friends for life. If you’re wanting a country experience in NZ this is the place to go. You can’t go wrong & we’d love to stay longer next time!! Thanks so much for having us ! Blessings Ruth F
