Our Cosy Worker's cottage is perched near the top of the tranquil Waitawheta Valley at the gateway into the Northern Kaimai Ranges. Enjoy river swimming and hiking right from the property or just relax on the deck and enjoy the beauty of the valley.
Feel free to wander across the land, pat the donkeys and chat to the cows. Dean's Track crosses our southern paddock, and Waitawheta Track starts adjacent to our property.
We live on the farm approximately 100m away but out of view and with respect for your privacy. Please note, however, our driveway does pass the cottage.
About your host, Sarah
We enjoy a simple life, in the quiet valley with our small family. Hiking, mountain biking and keeping fit and healthy make us smile.

Our cute and cosy cottage is an original worker's cottage from the kauri-logging days of the early 1900's, with plenty of charm remaining to this day. Extensively renovated in 2017, the cottage is fully insulated (walls, ceiling and floor) and has a modern fireplace, heat transfer system and high quality panel heating - perfect for winter getaways as well as dreamy summer days on the deck.
Wifi is free and high speed, suitable for working and watching Netflix, etc. The TV has a Chromecast plugged in and there is a Bluetooth speaker in the lounge.
Plenty of firewood is provided and we will have the fire going for your arrival during the colder months.
A portacot and high chair are available on request. Late check out and early check-in may be possible, just ask.
A cleaning fee applies to all bookings. This is to ensure a consistently high standard for every arriving guest. We aim for our cottage to be rustic by feel but spotlessly clean.
3 night minimum stay during school holidays and on long weekends. 5 night minimum stay over the Christmas/New Year period. 2 nights at all other times.
Maximum 4 guests.
