Relax and Rejuvenate
I had the best 2 nights here - the chalet was clean and well stocked, down to the extra pillows, blanket, hairdryer and complimentary breakfast. The hot tub was delightful and just what I needed to fully unwind from the hustle and bustle of Auckland. This experience was such a breeze and I was undisturbed throughout my whole stay - I would highly recommend this place and will most definitely be back in winter to try the hot tub!!

Puhoi
This was the first property we stayed at in NZ. A beautiful little cottage on a high hill overlooking Puhoi. Cozy and comfortable cottage. Great property with a small deck off the bedroom. Sat out and was greeted by a parrot and other beautiful birds. Nice pool and hot tub too. Peter was a great host aided by his Burmese cat Sam Very much enjoyed the local pub (great food and local beer). Highly recommend this property

Unplug in Puhoi
If you’re looking for a quiet little spot to unplug from the world, this place is for you. The chalet is immaculately presented; nestled next to the owner’s home. Surrounded by lovely landscaped gardens, we had total privacy and felt as though we had the whole property to ourselves! Electronic keyless entry makes access a breeze and you don’t need to worry about loosing the key. Inside the chalet is nice and cosy and aesthetically very appealing. It has all the conveniences needed for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. We visited over winter and the heaters kept us toasty. The large king bed was very comfortable and spacious, with a lovely balcony overlooking the property. Easy and private access to the spa at night made this stay particularly enjoyable. The property manual/guide was very helpful. Handy location, only a minute away from the Puhoi pub & general store, and 25 mins from Matakana. Sadly the Puhoi Cheese Factory and Cafe was closed over winter, so we didn’t get to experience that. Take all food and supplies for your get away as this is a small quaint town and no supermarket available. We had a very enjoyable stay at this property and highly recommend it. Ginny and Peter were wonderful hosts, and go over and above after all left a couple of items at the property, they were more than happy to drop them off to me! Many thanks to you both!

Great little place in Puhoi
This was a lovely place to stay in Puhoi for our Girl's weekend away. A short walk to the pub in the main part of town. Very clean. The spa pool was wonderful! We didn't use the main swimming pool, but enjoyed the ambience while reading our books poolside :)
