Hosts were wonderful, gave us freshly picked produce and fruit from their garden. Cottage was exceptionally well equipped, centrally located between whakatane and tauranga. Lovely beach for walking, not swimming, just a minutes drive. The kids loved tinkerbell the pig and max and mo the dogs. More

This is our second visit to Fothergills - 3 years ago we stayed in the cottage for a couple of nights and this time we were in the B&B. Both are excellent, but on balance I think the B&B just has the edge. The flat is self contained, very tastefully decorated and has everything you need (including a small kitchen... More
