Perfect getaway!
Amazing little rural slice of paradise. Great self-contained unit, a fab view of Mt Manaia, eating places nearby, lots of walks and beaches, and playgrounds. Lisa is the kindest host, going over and beyond. Thank you Lisa! Highly recommend! No faults.

Blown away by view
Lisa’s Craypot Cottage was perfect for we four. We needed somewhere quiet but close to the Hundertwasser Museum in Whangarie. This was just right. Lisa’s cottage was very well set up and she looked out for us. An excellent place to stay.

Lovely cottage, clean and comfortable. Good location for exploring the Whangarei Heads area. Cottage is near to the main house but felt private enough and host was great.

A lovely little farm stay
Our family of 4 had a great time staying here for a couple days. The area was lovely and the views of the mountain from the Bach were amazing. The Bach had everything we needed and was close to surf and family we had come to see in Onerahi. We would come back again for sure:
