Country Cottage Testimonials
From Uichiro & Michiko

 

All the animals there are lavely....it is like a warld of wanderland.  Japan now is season of colored leaves, it is getting cooler and cooler, but we are working cheerfully to  see you again.

 
From Christine - Auckland

...thanks so much Devon & family!

There's nothing better than a spell of fresh air in the country to boost body and soul. The litle ones ( canine babes) were so at home they thought they owned the place.... Have slept well, eaten well, soaked up the sun and the "P & Q" ( peace & quiet) and look forward to coming back. Big thankyou

 
From Gerri Steve & Olivia- Australia

....... we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Waterfall Lodge and really appreciated the personal effort you went to, to make sure that our stay with baby Olivia was very comfortable.

We found the cottage simple and elegant with everything that we needed.  The pizza oven was definitely a highlight! 

The ability to stroll around the farm and experience the tranquil countryside was wonderful and really allowed us to unwind.  Livvy is only very young, but she really enjoyed the walk and the farm animals too :)
We don't come to Auckland on holidays often but would love to visit again one day.  We've meanwhile recommended your farmstay to our friends.
Thank you again for letting us stay in your lovely cottage
