Te Miko
8.2 out of 10, Very good, (215 reviews)
"Check in was super easy and contactless. Our accommodation at Mamaku Cottage was clean, peaceful and contained everything we needed for a more than comfortable stay. We really enjoyed the lush green surroundings with easy access to tracks and the local cafe/pub. We even had a morning visit from a number of cute wekas! Would definitely recommend and will book again in future."
