Home away from home
Although wet had a wonderful relaxing stay. Real down time in somewhere that felt like a home away from home. Lynley and Dan are great hosts and gave recommendations on where to go and where I could take my dog. Will definitely stay again as still have some walks to do. The breakfast goodies were really appreciated. I highly recommend staying here

There was everything in the Kitchen we needed for Breakfast plus other treats. I would recommend this Bookabach to everyone who needs a quiet peaceful few days in the Country. Cant wait to come back again Diane, Tabby, Emma and Isla

Explore karangahake
Wood pigeon cottage is in an ideal location for exploring the area. There's a ton of adventures close by. The host is very communicative and the whole process of checking in was easy. The place could do with a bit of a clean around the edges but was comfortable, peaceful and sunny. Just note there's no door between the bedroom and living area if you're taking kids. Thanks for the lovely stay!

Paradise by the river, peaceful and calming. The breakfast offered as part of your stay the fresh homegrown eggs are something else. The waterfall just down the Rd is one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had! The house is comfortable with everything you need, I really appreciated there wonderful home and lovely hosts.

Weekend break
The cottage was in a quiet, peaceful location. The weather was terrible, otherwise I'm sure we would have enjoyed the tranquil setting outside. i.e. coffee on the patio looking across countryside. The cottage was great for two people and we enjoyed the good selection of breakfast food left for us. So, thank you, we appreciated that. Just a couple of minor maintenance items to attend to. We only spoke briefly with the owners, but they were very pleasant, friendly and welcoming.

Lovely Cottage
Wonderful place to stay. Peaceful, quiet, cosy with a rural outlook. I came to stay for a couple of nights away to unwind and recharge after a busy time, and experienced exaclty that. It was raining, I still managed to get out for some of the lovely walks nearby. Great hosts, everything you would expect of a self contained accommodation, plus breakfast supplies provided. Highly recommended! I plan to return one day soon.

A charming cottage and friendly hosts
Lynley and Dan are warm and friendly hosts, sharing tips for fishing holes and eggs from their chooks. The cottage decor is charming with tranquil views of a flowery meadow and tree lined river. It was lovely to find fresh eggs, Vogel bread, chocolate and some bits n bobs in the fridge. An unexpected extra. We had a wonderful time fishing and riding the trail and hope to be back again sometime. Thank you!
