Sea-side 2bed house near the City

JudyRating, 5 stars5 months ago

We spent 11 nights at Nicola's cottage in Te Puna which is exactly as described. The cottage was perfect for us as we were spending time with family at Omokoroa, but overall the location on the inlet is fabulous. The area feels very safe and it's great for walking and close to cycle trails. There are great food options close by - Clarke Rd Kitchen, Te Puna Deli and the White House are faves + Alma Eatery at Omokoroa beach for wonderful Italian / pasta. We had a couple of minor issues and Nicola was very prompt at responding to these. We also appreciated the little treats :) Highly recommend this place and look forward to staying again.
