Fun cosy cottage on the south side of the beautiful Ngunguru River

You'll be staying in an easy living 2 bedroom cottage on a large bush block set high on a ridgetop with 360 degrees views of the surrounding bush, the Ngunguru River and Ngunguru township. There's a 2.5km driveway down to the Ngunguru River where you'll have access to our private jetty (booking required). A beautiful wetland, stunning bush walks, high hill look outs, picnic stop along the way. Please let us know what activities your interested in so we can accommodate as jetty require booking.. Please see our house rules for bookings. If you're wanting to book within 24hrs of check in pls call us before booking. We are located half way between Whangarei CBD & Tutukaka so you're in a perfect location to explore the local area, the Ngunguru river, and the stunning Tutukaka coast and beaches. Nearest supermarket is at Tikipunga. It's a very quiet rural location that feels secluded but is very convenient. We have been hosting for 3 years so please see our reviews.

The house is very comfortable with 2 good sized bedrooms and big living/dining areas. There are some beautiful pieces of art and an excellent book collection. The view is amazing and the property has some hidden gems. We were here for 3 nights and loved every minute. Host is great!

Had a delightful stay at this place. It is a little off the beaten track so to speak, so for exploring there’s a little bit more to do but the surrounding area is breathtaking, the house is ideal for a small family of couple, everything you need. Such a great couple of nights here.

The location is great with amazing view. Short drive to Tutukaka and Ngruguru township. The house is functional with all the amenities and great wifi speed. The toilet and bathroom have smells that needs to be look at.

Nice and quiet, and away from neighbours so it felt like a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Enjoyable, and would gladly stay again. The view and sunny surround was absolutely amazing, as was the stroll down to the jetty. The house does provide all necessary cooking and living amenities to make the stay comfortable. However a coffee table would be really useful as there is no where to put your drink while watching tv. Absolutely fantastic that the property is pet friendly which is why we booked but it probably needs to be aired out before guests arrive as there was a really strong dog smell when we arrived. After airing the house during our 2 day stay the smell was gone by the time we left, and we also had a small dog as well. There is, understandably, a security camera watching the entrance. Although it provides security it should probably be mentioned in the listing for awareness.
