Arriving at night in the rain, our GPS led us to the welcoming lights of Kamahi Cottage. From the moment we drove up the drive, my 14 year old son just looked at me and said "You have absolutely nailed it Mum - this place is beautiful!!!" Anything one might need has been thought of and met. Kamahi Cottage exceeded... More

Out in a peaceful meadow lies a most beautiful stop with hosts Liz and Evan at Kamahi Cottage. The cottage is situated in an ideal setting with everything one could want including a well stocked kitchenette, wine and spirits, good reading materials and comfortable bed. The cottage is very clean, comfortable and welcoming. Liz is a wonderful cook and both... More

We spent a wonderful evening with Liz and Evan at the Kamahi Cottage. We wish we had more time at this location, but our trip schedule only allowed one night. We had a lovely dinner and breakfast in Liz and Evan's dinning room. Liz is a great cook! I loved the baked eggs in mustard sauce for breakfast. Delicious! The... More

Our cottage was so adorable, luxuries you would expect at a 5 star resort. Liz's cooking was the best, the special little touches like fresh baked goodies when you went to your cottage. Best French toast we ever had and her deserts are unbelievable. You have to have dinner there it was the most relaxing, coming back from a day... More

We loved the grounds and nothing was too much trouble for Liz. We felt it was a wonderful mix of luxury, solitude and feeling at home all rolled into... More

Liz and Evan have created a beautifully appointed, and very private oasis on the North Island of New Zealand. Liz is extremely knowledgeable about the area and helped us plan some short, fun hikes on the way to our next stay. We felt more than welcome in her home and on the grounds of her property. After admiring some of... More
