House was a lovely old house that has been added on to. Would have loved to know the history and stories of people who lived there. Beautiful area around the home. Was lovely to have access to laundry. Overall a very nice stay.

Stepping Back In Time
My hubby and I had a lovely stay at this gorgeous cottage. It was like stepping back in time to my childhood growing up on a farm with paddocks full of delicious fruit trees. So much fruit to sample, and magic wondering around all the paddocks. Fiona was a lovely host and came to meet us with her wee son on day we were leaving. Close enough this accommodation is for easy drives to Kerikeri to explore but far enough away to enjoy the countryside. Would highly recommend this holiday property.

First of all Fiona was really good for communication as she has been spontaneous for all the messages sent. Moreover she was really understanding when we were running little late to leave the cottage. Property has all the amenities which we expect from one house name it from coffee machine to blender to cooking utensils and many more. Quiet place and very drivable location from near around other tourist places.

Gorgeous garden, lovely cottage
Enjoyable and peaceful stay over Christmas. The cottage had everything we needed, and is comfortable and quirky. There are fruit trees in the giant garden (lemons! plums!). It is just off the main highway, and was a good base for Bay of Islands and the Northland. ❤️

We stayed at the ploughman cottage in 2019 and fell in love with the place. It was just as delightful this time. A very special place in the north. A treat to come back.

Farmhouse in Bay of Islands region
Elderly person struggled a bit with internal steps; was difficult to locate the property - GPS failed to locate accurately and difficult to see any signage, particularly at night. Grateful to get accommodation at short notice after previous host cancelled at last minute. Clean, good sized house in rural location.
