Shhhhhhhhh! We want to keep this place a secret. This is our go-to place to stay when we want a quick escape from Auckland and all the noise. Perfect location for access to walk, Waihi and Paeroa 10 mins either way for conveniences.

Hidden Treasure
A gorgeous cottage with everything we needed. Close to Hauraki Cycle trail which we did as day trips. Lovely hot tub to soak in and washing machine with a small sunporch- great for drying clothes even with the odd showers. The garden and plants are exquisite and you can walk across the road to the Karangahake gorge.

Short but delectable
Situated close enough to the gorge that you hear the rushing waters at night. Spa is great and feels private from neighbours with greenery on both sides, and looking out onto the garden. Spacious and well appointed inside with a new kitchen. Its a great mix of being away from the hustle that you can feel relaxed, but close enough if you need to nip into Paeroa for anything. It was a great short trip from Auckland for the weekend

We really enjoyed our stay at this absolutely gorgeous cottage. The garden is lovely and the spa in the back yard was the perfect way to finish the evening. Inside the house is a large kitchen with everything you need to cook. The house was spotless and tastefully decorated. Beds we comfortable. The cottage is walking distance to the gorge carpark and trails which is perfect if you were exploring the area. Only mistake we made was not staying long enough.
