DoLittle Cottage on organic citrus orchard, farm animals, pool, total bliss

This charming, very private, self-contained cottage is set in the middle of our organic citrus orchard, just 5 km outside of Kerikeri. Come swim in the pool, feed the friendly farm animals (chickens, kune kune pigs) and take a stroll between the fruit trees. Our DoLittle Cottage is double glazed and fully insulated which makes it nice and warm in winter and cool in summer and extremely quiet. It is uniquely designed and handcrafted from New Zealand grown timber. For some extra comfort our DoLittle Cottage is equipped with screened windows, heat pump, Smart TV with Netflix, DVD, hairdryer, microwave, outside furniture on the private, covered deck, free wifi, tea/coffee and other amenities. We have fiber wifi and quality linen and towels are provided.

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

Doolittle relaxation
We loved the peace and quiet. The bed was very comfy and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. Nika was a favourite and the pigs DID sit on command! Lovely to come home with oranges too. Thanks

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.
