Fantastic view of the mountains from our room. Perfect location. You can tell the owners/managers take pride in their property by all the little things they got right. There's a long patio, a good bathroom with sufficient space for storage and plenty of hot water. Beds were very comfortable and had two spacious end tables with 4 plugs by each table. Most motels have tiny trash cans that need to be emptied daily or more often, but here they had a big one, as all should. Friendly, helpful staff.

Austin Heights is a beautiful property and Juanita is a fantastic host. Everything was spotlessly clean. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was just what we needed to start our day!

Loved the location, near eateries in town and so on, but a five minute walk away, so quieter. Property was love it and ours had a balcony overlooking the seafront.

We enjoyed being there so much we asked if we could extend our stay. Sadly, they were booked so we were unable to. However, due to how much we enjoyed our time there, we are hoping to come back next year and stay again. The cottage is so comfortable that we cancelled our dinner reservations and grabbed food at the local grocery and ate in both nights. With the ocean on one side, mtns on the other, why would you want to be anywhere else? Extremely well equipped with everything you could need. Comfortable, relaxing, and beautiful setting all rolled up in one. Thank you for all the special touches included in your cottage. Our favorite place in NZ so far.
