“The most romantic, amazing secluded get away ever!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2009

From the moment we arrived at Warm Earth Cottages, our hosts Anne and Bert were the most perfect hosts. They made us feel welcome and we felt that nothing was too much trouble.
The accommodation was perfect, private, immaculately clean and welcoming. Our experience at Warm Earth soaking up the solitude, having time to totally relax without any interuptions, and enoying fantastic food and atmosphere, will stay with us for a very long time. We cannot wait to get away from it all and visit warm earth again as soon as we can!
Thanks for a lovely break -

“Fantastic experience, if only there was one in Europe too!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2009

We stayed at Warm Earth Cottages for one night at the end of a 3 week trip to New Zealand visiting family, and it was the perfect end to a fab holiday. The setting is wonderful; totally secluded and could be anywhere on earth ... the two cottages are also totally seperate and private from each other. When we arrived we were ushered in to the house to choose a liquer each - which was a lovely start to a great 24hrs. The cottages are decorated beautifully, and as we were the first to arrive we had choice of either so we had a nose around both - they're both as good as each other. The cottages have everything you could need, and the BBQ etc are all well stocked. Breakfast the next morning was yet another pleasant surprise - we went up to the house after having a BBQ for dinner, and it was wonderful....very luxurious and more than we could ever eat! This is an absolute gem and i'm glad we found it. I only wish it was nearer home to visit more often!

“a very magical place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2009

Warm Earth Cottage is a very unique little oasis of peace and calm. Our hosts Anne & Bert were very welcoming and no request was too much trouble for them. It was the perfect location to spend three nights out of our trip.
Highlights include moonlit outdoor baths under the stars, Anne's delicious BBQ and extremely comfortable and super-clean cabins. Our only regret was not being able to stay for longer.
Staying at a place like this makes your trip even more special and leaves you with very happy memories. Definitely worth a visit, I have never commented on a website before but felt I had to.
Thanks Anne & Bert!!!!

“Totally Unique B&B. A must on any trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2009

Stayed at Warm Earth Cottages during a tour around the North Island. It is, without doubt, the most unique B&B I have ever stayed in. After the warm (and alcoholic) welcome, you are left to setting in amongst stunning scenery, a calming stream and candlelight. The highlight is the wood fired outside bath. What a way to unwind in the evening. Treat yourself to the breakfast BBQ to set you up for the day. 100% recommended.

“Absolutely Wonderful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2009

Warm Earth Cottage is superb. My wife and I had our honeymoon here and we couldn't have been happier. The cottages are wonderful and so cosy and romantic. Having no power in the cottage and relying on candles is gorgeous and beautifully romantic. We had a fantastic time together and Anne and Burt are fantastic hosts. They basically leave you alone but if you need anything they are more than happy to assist. The outdoor bath is amazing and we must have spent hours soaking in the tub. I can highly reccommend the BBQ platter which you cook on the BBQ provided. Prawn and scallop kebabs, Venison steaks, Chicken tenderloin, sausages, two great salads and dessert. You will certainly not go hungry. There is a beautiful stream running through the property with a great private swimming hole for each cabin. This place is excellent for a romantic getaway, cosy, private and extremely relaxing.

We will certainly be returning
