We want to assure you that we will take every precaution to keep our guests well during this time of Covid-19. Our cottage is across the lawn from our home and you can be totally self sufficient if you wish. All surfaces will be sanitised before and after each visit. We plan to allow one day free after each reservation so that the cottage can be aired thoroughly before the next guest arrives. We can also provide contactless handover of the cottage keys when you arrive.
Hi there, we are a semi retired couple, living on a lifestyle block in Athenree, a small settlement at the north end of the Tauranga harbour. We have always lived rurally and this place is no different with hens, bees and a small avocado orchard. We enjoy hosting and meet the loveliest people from all parts of the world. Our home is just across the lawn from the cottage and we are nearly always available for our guests. We certainly like to meet them on arrival and see that they are settled into the cottage. We look forward to meeting you when you decide to book with us, Noel and Janet.
