Our stay in Aotea
This was a great place to chill out, with a wonderful outlook over Aotea Harbour and very quiet at this time of year (end April). Neat and clean with very a well equipped kitchen. It was comfortable for our stay but expect it could get very hot in summer, and be cold in winter (only one small panel heater for a large space).

Perfect spot
Enjoyed our stay at Aotea Harbour. House was well equipped with everything you need. Had a peaceful, relaxing stay, which was just what we needed, nobody around. Had good communication with Host Taylor and when we were due to leave, cleaning lady. Thank you all for a great stay.

Comfort and views
This place is very comfortable even in winter. We enjoyed the constant changing show put on by nature and viewed through the large double glazed windows. This host is most generous and the place was in perfect order.

It is a grear spot and a very nice house however it would be nice to know how remote it is so that we could have got some supplies before we headed to stay. Kahwai had only a small convenience store and other dining options were closed. Expedia distance to Waitomo caves has it listed as 33km when it was 77km away.

Peace and quiet
Although it rained all weekend we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We came in search of peace and quiet and that is certainly what we found. A lovely property in a lovely spot - ideal for getting away from the daily grind!
