Great central location for Farewell Spit Exploring
We loved The Innlet, friendly relaxed host, great location to reach loads of birdwatching opportunities in the area. Very comfortable, clean, quiet and cosy. Highly recommended.
Well equipped and peaceful cottage. Short walk to the beach and a private bush walk behind to amazing views

Fern Retreat
This DEAREST little cottage is situated on the side of a stream nestled in amongst Punga Fern bush, so wonderfully private.
Freshly crafted hard wood windows, ceiling, floors and veranda makes it my favorite NZ retreat. Spotlessly clean.

Great spot, very serene setting
Lovely wooden cottage, fully equipped with a sunny deck overlooking a pretty river - very private and easy to come and go as we liked. Loved the extra details too - the forest walk was especially nice and the homegrown lettuce on the steps made us feel at home! Our hosts were warm and friendly too, recommend!

Awesome little cottage in amazing location
We had a fantastic stay at Opua cottage and we wished we could have stayed for longer. The location was great for lots of different outdoor activities and the cottage was tucked away in a private and beautiful secluded garden setting. Stunning scenery and an awesome spot for a holiday.

Peaceful!
We loved staying in the garden cottage and plan to come back.
We stayed here over 20 years ago and have dreamed of coming back ever since. We did, and it was as perfect as we remember. So much so, we extended our stay two extra nights. Thanks, Katie & Jonathan, for making the dream come true.
