We arrived exhausted and jetlagged after a long flight from Canada via Hong Kong. The kids were cranky. Liz greeted us and treated us like family. We didn't ever want to leave! Fabulous baked eggs for breakfast And make sure you see the angora rabbit shearing near the Waitomo Caves - hysterical! more

Kamahi Cottage is a special place. Not only because of the location with the view of rolling hills, sheep and wild turkeys, but also of the hosts, particularly Liz. She is not only an accomplished gourmet cook, but also a most gracious host. If you are in the area to visit the Waitomo Glowworm caves, this is the perfect location... more

We stayed here for two nights - but would have been very happy to have stayed much longer. This pretty cottage is absolutely perfect for use as a touring base for the region, or as a place to relax and watch the clouds go by. The thought that has gone into the cottage is evident every time you need something... more

We have just completed a most enchanting 5 days stay in Kamahi Cottage. Combining both perfect privacy with the invaluable presence of the owner's home a few steps away, through a cleverly designed garden, we felt at home the moment we arrived. Exceptionnal scenery all around, very cosy interior with heaps of DVD, CD, cushions and throws, excellent comfortable bed,... more

We stayed here for one night celebrating our wedding anniversary. The cottage is spotlessly clean, packed with all items you could possibly need. This is the only accommodation on the farmstay, and attention to detail is the key here. Kiwi books and DVDs, thick socks, possum hotties, an honesty minibar, even a set of binoculars make this a luxurious home... more

This is the place to stay if you want accomodation with the personal touch. The cottage was in a delightful rural setting but so close to the local attractions around Waitomo. Everything you could want was supplied including luxury toiletries. Each day there were wonderful cakes made by Liz and perhaps some fruit from her orchards. The breakfast which she... more

This is my first time to visit New Zealand, and we chose to stay at Kamahi Cottage in the North Island at one of the night. As attracted by the photos and description in the website, we decided to make the booking. There is only one cottage (booking) per time, the schedule of Kamahi Cottage was pretty packed. We picked... more

We highly recommend Kamahi Cottage! What a treat to begin our New Zealand vacation with a stay at Kamahi Cottage. This spacious, beautiful, private cottage sits among the spectacular gardens and vistas on a farm owned by Liz and Evan Cowen. Liz and Evan's gracious, warm hospitality and the spotless, comfortable, roomy cottage made a perfect introduction to the New... more

Ahhh, relaxing. That's how you feel when you arrive at Kamahi Lodge. Liz and the cat welcome you and show you around. The sheep are quietly hanging about and you can sink into the sofa with the tea and cake/ biscuits that are left for you. The cottage is furnished and provisioned with everything and anything you could possibly imagine.... more
