Very accommodating. I booked last minute and didn't turn up until 11.30pm - They had everything open for me so I could just roll in and go to sleep. In the morning breakfast was nicely placed so I could get it at my convenience. It was delicious - Home-made Jam on toast.

We had a lovely stay at Tui cottage. In particular we found the bed really comfortable and enjoyed the lovely rural view. A huge thank you for letting us check in early.
Gordon is a warm, kind and generous person who provides even more than anyone could wish for.
nothing could have been better
Nice quiet rural area.
Definitely needs a deep clean. Lots of spiderwebs in corners.
Tui Cottage provides a delightful, beautifully appointed space to relax in. Plenty of thoughtful touches from furnishings, varieties of teas, to home made yoghurt and jams provided at breakfast. So quiet, and lovely rural outlook yet not far from Huntley. Super comfortable bed meant a great sleep.
There was just a somewhat wobbly high bench and stools for meals, no outdoors table and chairs. Having a standard height table and chairs to eat at would have been better.
Good stopover on the way to the airport
We really enjoyed our stay and had an amazing time at the cottage. The view was spectacular, and Gordon was very kind and gave us a warm welcome. We’ll definitely come back again!
Everything good.
The cottage is surrounded by farmland & is so peaceful. The deck chairs looking out to the farm animals is so relaxing. (The wee “4 legged”welcoming committee was my favourite!) The bed was super comfy & the place was spotless. The home made preserves, muesli & milk along with little chocolates was such a nice touch. Loved every minute of our stay & would love to book again next time we are up that way. 100% recommend to anyone looking for peace & quiet.
The fact that I only booked 1 night! I wish we could have stayed for 2! It was that relaxing!
Peaceful and quiet place, warm hospitality
Everything was amazing good view nice place and the cottage was amazing
The decor was rustic and beautiful. love how the wooden feature is all through the cottage. Great getaway as it's only an hour away from Auckland. Awesome deck that overseas a lush field also had a visit from the owners dog...super cute 😍
Beautiful grounds in general, everything was spotless on our arrival, the host are more then accommodating and although we didn’t eat the breakfast supplied were thankful for the thought (we just ran out of time that morning) getting to sit and watch the sky change with the cows walking past and beautiful bird song in the background was the highlight of my weekend. Again thank you to the amazing host for your kindness, hospitality and flexibility during our stay.
Nothing.
Everything was perfect. The host aimed to provide a 10/10 experience. It feels it was more than that. A sweet welcome, a warm cottage, peaceful nature and landscape, nice fournitures, incredible breakfast with homemade yogurt and marmelades. Thank you for having us, we will come back !
Coffee machine was a lifesaver. Super clean and comfy place.
Really lovely hosts! Everything so cozy and very good breakfast products 😀
The Cottage was cosy, the breakfast was exceptional and the people there were lovely.
Quiet spot on a back road. The property is a dairy farm, views of green fields and few people around. Nicely appointed, comfortable couch, deck, good breakfast supplies, proper freezer in the fridge, heating, big bathroom. Picture windows were great when the rain kept me indoors.
Limited to a microwave or outdoor bbq, fortunately I ended up not bringing steak as it poured with rain at the key time. I'm sure Gordon would have sorted me if I needed.
The nice peaceful atmosphere and area
Cosy, quiet and comfortable with a lovely rural outlook
Amazing place.
A wonderful rural location with lovely views from both the living room and bedroom... so quiet and comfortable... Loved it. A wonderful place to stay, with kind and welcoming hosts... and a lovely dog, too... Jackson, so friendly. Would highly recommend...
Coming from Melbourne Australia nothing beats Tui Cottages, It was relaxing warm and the scenery the best, I'm definitely Coming back with my family and hiring both Cottages, Highly recommended.

Quiet and peaceful and spacious facilities,everything we needed.
Comfortable, quiet, peaceful place to stay for the week.
Tui Cottage is absolutely perfect for a relaxing stay - it has wonderful views (and sunsets), peace and tranquility. It is immaculately clean and very warm and comfortable with thoughtful extras, plus a delicious breakfast, even with home made jam. The cottage is beautifully decorated with amazing artworks and has everything you need. The bed was the best we slept in during our stay in NZ and we really enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the sunset with a glass of wine then relaxing over breakfast in the sun watching cows and horses. The location was great as it was only 10 minutes out of town and Auckland airport just over an hour away. Gordon is the most charming, friendly host and he made our last night in NZ perfect - thanks Gordon

Nothing. Shame, I wish I had found this place earlier
The view was absolutely spectacular 🫶 It was really really clean, beautiful property inside & out and a great family feeling at the property, everything you needed was there! Even with everything being there for you, the lovely owner’s asked us every day if we needed anything to let them know to help make our stay more amazing. Most sweet and amazing hosts with beautiful smiles for our whole stay.
We liked everything :)
This is an amazing little gem.in the countryside. Gordon and Rei were wonderful hosts . Lovely to sit on the deck and have enjoy the view.
Gorgeous little units, very warm, inviting & comfortable. Art works decorating the unit are just amazingly BEAUTIFUL 👍🏼😍. Just over an hour's drive to Auck airport so a perfect place to skip being in the city.
The environment was very stunning and relaxing ☺️! It was what I needed coming from the city. I felt at home and the host were really welcoming. Nga mihi
