We had stayed 3 nights in the Family Cottage. It was comfortable, spacious - a home away from home. The upstairs had a queen bed and spa and toilet; downstairs the main shower and toilet, separate full kitchen, dining area, and two single beds in the living area. TV both downstairs and upstairs - not that we used them; heating... More

We stayed here for 2 nights on our way to and from a family get together. At the end of the day it was nice to come back to the peace and quiet and sit down and relax. Good size unit and lovely and warm. Hosts are welcoming and really helpful! Would love to come and stay again.

A quick review to say that the hosts were helpful in suggesting the best way to see the local attractions and the room was great. My 11 yo son and I only stayed one night but wished we had more time to spend here. Good price too. A bonus for us was a free upgrade to a two storey room... More

We stayed at Cottage Mews recently - we stayed for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed staying by the Lake. The two storey spacious apartment we stayed in had a kitchen, living area and outside courtyard. It was very adequate for 3 adults and a baby. The rooms are well equipped, (two bathrooms!) and include a large tub spa. There is... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. We stayed in one of the smaller rooms, and would have stayed longer if we could. Despite the wintry weather, the room as snug and warm, spotlessly clean, very well equipped and with a gorgeous spa bath - and a small private garden out the back. More like a little house than a motel... More

We stayed at Cottage Mews for 6 nights in the beginning of our trip and another 2 nights at the end. Julie and Terry were so helpful in planning side trips throughout the north island. Their suggestions were always right on the mark. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. Unexpected details that highlight the degree of hospitality included their... More

We stayed at Cottage Mews Motel for 2 nights and we couldn't have asked for a better place. The room was spacious and very clean with a kitchenette and courtyard. Julie and Terry were absolutely lovely and very helpful. We left some clothes behind in the wardrobe and Julie posted them back to us at no charge, 5 star customer... More

We stayed for just one night and were more than happy with what we got. The staff and room were just perfect and we loved the modern interior in particular (bathroom is great)! Free WIFI and laundry (dryer for 2 $ extra) were great as well! We'd come back any time!

Stayed here with our family of 4 plus 2 overseas guests, had a lovely time. Kids had a lovely time feeding the ducks and swans both at days end and in early morning. Elderly grandmum was easily able to stroll the beach (only 2 minutes walk at the back of the property). Short drive to city centre...kayaks available for renting,... More
