Hotel a Whakatiwai

“Location was perfect. The unit itself was very ideal, and the staff was very nice and helpful.”

“We loved our short stay here, food was fabulous both at the bar as well as the restaurant. Best creme brûlée I’ve had in awhile! As always, the rooms are wonderful and I would recommend anyone to stay here en route to the airport after a long drive from the east. We hope to return!”

“Upon arriving we were hesitant that we’d found the right address. The absolute beauty of the location had not been given its due justice from the online photos. The new owners have done so much to revitalize the rooms, overall property and gardens. The panoramic view was epic.”

“Second time we've stayed at Grafton Cottages. Such a warm welcome, so chilled and relaxing with amazing views. ”

“Lovely location with seaside within 1 min and a stream just next to our apartment. Loved the birds and sunset viewing. Minimal road noise in unit 5. Clean room. Comfortable beds. Newly renovated bathroom and toilet. Full kitchen appliances and shared BBQ facilities. It just lacks some cooking utensils: baking dish to use in the oven, big salad bowl and a cover for the frying pan.

“Impeciably clean fantastic facility very well appointed cabin genuinely friendly helpful staff highly recommend ”

“Beautiful location - Rooms are a bit outdated & could do with a better clean (stained couch & mould on curtain). However overall had a nice stay”

“Rapaura WaterGardens is absolutely magical. Imagine a cottage nestled in your own secret garden, 64 acres of lush bushes, native trees, lily ponds, flowers in bloom, gurgling streams, walking paths, green mounds of grass everywhere, and a gorgeous waterfall. Hard to not pinch yourself when you look out the sparkling windows gazing at nature, with the occasional ducks passing by and the birds singing their song. As you sit in your cozy cottage, luxurious in all the necessities, comfy in the most...

“Love this place, wonderful host and good service. Will surely come back again :)”

“When we arrived, we were greeted with a friendly smile from the lady at reception. She showed us where we could park and our room and asked if we required any further assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. The room was clean and very comfortable. Thank you - we will stay again.”

“Breakfast was amazing and hosts were extremely welcoming ”

“Easy to find ”

“Very nice place to stay, clean and spacious rooms, beautiful ambiance and cute gardens. We are definitely staying in Aroma House on our next trip to Aukland and surrounding areas. Highly recommend.”

“What a great place to stay. Handy having a great pub across the road for meals. Staff, especially Natasha, went above and beyond to make our stay great. Thanks. Deb Carey”

“We did a last minute booking and straight he fitted me my partner and daughter to a room as we couldnt find accommodation close enough to my kids sports event at a good price like here. So good customer service and good place to stay at. Recommend to anyone.”

“This is a lovely campground. ”
