Relax-a-Lodge : DoLittle Cottage

Nestling in an orange orchard, DoLittle Cottage is a superb place for a relaxing break. Claes is a great host and you are made to feel very welcome upon arrival (including oranges in the fruit bowl). The accommodation is clean and very well appointed with all of the essential amenities. This is a gem in the Kerikeri area and I would highly recommend this accommodation to any solo traveller or couple. DoLittle Cottage should not be missed.

Tidy wee cottage in the middle of an orchard. Access with the trailer was a bit tight but owners let us park it on another space. There was another couple of cottages on site. No iron or ironing board in the lodge laundry or in cottage

Perfectly Friendly

Our stay was too short, but sweet. It was beautiful in every way. Waking up to the view of the Orange Groves, playing with the dogs and watching the chickens and pigs potter about their business was quite relaxing. The added bonus is the shower pressure. 20 out of 10!! I can't wait to come back. Thank you for a great Stayz

An absolute gem

We had a great stay here. Very relaxing. A modern unit with nice decor. Great for one or two people. It is not to big and not too small. A good base from which to do day trips, from but the cabin is big enough and combined with the orchard and swimming pool, it is a great place for a day of rest and relaxation. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.
