Find Bungalows in New Zealand

The cottages were beautiful! Imagine waking up surrounded by vines in a quiet, exclusive vineyard, having breakfast outside looking at the morning fog and then taking a morning stroll taking in the fresh air! We had some complications and confusion during checkin as the staff mistaken our booking with another guest's and cancelled us, thankfully, there was a empty cottage available and we managed to checked in late for the day. Wish we stayed longer because it was a beautiful place! Great amenities in the apartment, it basically had everything you could ask for!

I might be biased on my review as we have been offered an upgrade from 1-bedroom to 2bedroom cottage! Andddddd, they even delivered complimentary breakfast to our doorstep! Quiet location away from the busy main road. The owner is nice and friendly. He recommended a few places of interest and restaurants to visit. Chalet is new, nice and clean. Beds and sofa were very comfortable. They provide complimentary DVD for loan as well. Overall, I recommend staying here.

Avalon is amazing!! Loved the stream fed pool which was quite refreshing & the cottages are so modern/fancy yet cozy with a charming elegance and super comfy beds (got great sleep & at a great price) the views are excellent with tasty mandarin's growing all around........a super easy walk into Kerikeri & just around the corner from the airport too (awesome location). Thanks & Kudos to Villiam for his kindness & hospitality which made my Birthday that much more enjoyable:)

Staying at the lovely Blue Thistle Cottages really centered our amazing visit to Te Anau. We were so awed by Lake Te Anau and exploring the Glowworm Caves and the drive to Milford and the Milford Cruise and being able to return in the afternoons and evenings to Blue Thistle Cottage allowed us to soak in all that was amazing about that area. The Cottages are well appointed, with quality linens and comfortable beds. The owners are very friendly and approachable with good communication leading up to our stay. Best of all is the peaceful, pastoral setting of the cottages, with amazing views over the Lake and to the mountains. What a stay.

The place was really clean, new and just like what I was expected. I really enjoyed staying here. The room has pretty much everything that you would need in the 5 star hotel. However, the hotel was quite far from the nearest town (26km from greymouth and 18km from punakaiki) . We had to drive to greymouth for dinner and to do our grosceries.. I would recommend you to do all of that before you head to the hotel.

Our stay was fantastic, the room was very clean with modern furnishings and details. Vehicle parking was excellent and easy, the gardens and the surrounding yard were beautiful and relaxing to walk through. The hosts were non-intruding and very pleasant to talk to. The hosts also provided a welcome package that included local restaurants and attractions. 2 of recommended restaurants were 2 of the the best places that we ate at on our New Zealand vacation. Highly recommend Cambridge Coach House and would definitely stay there again if we get to visit New Zealand again. A++++!

very friendly service and i was able to help bottle feed the lambs. there was a small kitchen with hot plate and microwave which would be perfectly adequate for preparing light meals ( eggs available from no doubt free range chickens on the property) milk, orange juice, bread and a selection of cereals and jams provided. i think this would be a great place to take young children as there is also a pony which the owner saddles up for rides and each cottage has an outdoor sitting area with bbq.

The accommodation was an excellent alternative to a motel. First of all it was cheaper than a Motel. It was better than all the Airbnb or bookabach who only offered two night stays. Secondly the room was decorated with all sorts of lovely extras and nice touches. The garden between each Chalet gave the impression of complete privacy which is often lacking in a motel with people above and below making noises all night. The quiet room had everything including tea and coffee and a fridge. Then there was the added bonus of a "clubhouse" with a full kitchen and dining area and new BBQ. Perfect if you wanted to cook a meal rather than eat out. The owners were very friendly but after answering our local questions left us to enjoy the evening in peace. This spot would also be ideal for a family large family gathering or two couples meeting for the weekend. would stay again at the drop of a hat!

Lochmara lodge is an amazing go-to spot for any type of traveler. staying here gives you free entry to the wildlife recovery and arts centre. you could go hiking up to the top with amazing views of the sounds. spend the day exploring the nature walks, feed some animals including the special kakarikis that they are breeding at their wildlife recovery centre for the department of conservation nz along with others they are taking care of. you also have free use of their kayaks and more. there are a whole lot of things that you could do at this amazing lodge! the service here was also great, the food was yummy with BIG portions, the staff were VERY welcoming and friendly. Overall i would recommend this lovely lodge to anyone that is planning to stay in the sounds. and i would definitely come back again when i get the chance!

Our stay was so fabulous! John was just the perfect, friendly host and very knowledgeable. The property is beautiful and right out of a dream. We stayed at the Wairua for the first two nights - then switched to the Turehu Cottage for the last two. We would recommend either cottage, but the Turehu cottage was our favorite! It has the absolute best view and patio in the world. Bethells is the one place if we visit New Zealand we will 100% stay again! Amazing.

We booked twin room for 2 persons through Agoda but apparently they said we only booked for 1 person which was absurd and kept saying that we made a mistake and pushing us to pay extra NZD 15. The owner was cursing in front of us while asking us to stop arguing with them when he was the one started the argument and kept on saying that we were at mistake and repeating Agoda never made a mistake! We tried to show them our booking confirmation but the internet there was so bad we couldn't load the email. Clearly they value the money more than a good service and hospitality. They didn't even make us feel welcomed. They didn't provide towel too! What was more upsetting was they kept on saying that WE made a mistake and not Agoda or them. The host was Swedish but have lived in New Zealand for sometimes. After staying in New Zealand for 3 weeks at different places with other hosts/owners without any hassle, this is truly our only bad experience and the worst host in Kiwiland ever!

The hotel is about 30 minutes out of town by a dusty road. It is a lovely quiet location and has country views. The chalet is basic and is for two people only. The chalet is not serviced. The spa was a wonderful feature as it was used regularly .the TV is so small it is difficult to watch. The rooms could have been cleaner as it is very basic and it would not be hard to be spotlessly clean. Otherwie it is a lovely location and a few adjustments would make it more homely and a true pleasure.

Fantastic hosts that will give you a wealth of local knowledge on your visit to Milford Sound. You will get to interact with the farm animals and kids get to ride the pony guided. Extremely worthwhile stay and it's a fully self contained chalet where a family of 5 can be hosted easily. The Chalet is close to one movie location of Lord of the Ring and you can mountain bike your way down to have first hand experience of the location. Do plan to have at least one clear day at the chalet itself to fully busk in the relaxing surrounding and also to have a go with the farm animals and horse trekking. Will definately return and have the full experience with the farm stay.
