Werekataba

Lovely setting, really nice hosts. Well thought out and catering for all needs. I would highly recommend. So close to everything but nicely secluded. Very reasonable price as well. Thanks for having us.

We love it here. We've just moved our family back to Australia and this is a great place to be whilst we sort out where we're living. The granny flat style of accommodation is very comfortable for our family of 5. It's peaceful, the trees are beautiful, the pool and the chickens are fun for our children, and our hosts are just lovely. A really great getaway.

Very comfortable, everything you need is supplied. Great hosts.

Had a great time with my wife and then 2 year old. Booking again.What stood out:House very nice, I appreciate someone who has picked designs that match. Love the Bathroom and it's all non standard and wonderful. Cosy not hotel.Play areas on site.Chickens which my daughter loved.close to trees, it felt like a different setting.Downsides:One thing that bothered us was 1 queen bed and 2x single beds. It would be great if there were a bigger second bed. It's a really minor thing as I remember sleeping like a log and waking up really late.

Very disappointing!The misleading advert/website led us to believe we were hiring/renting a 4 bedded private accommodation with a private pool. When in reality the property is part of the owner's home, blocked off by a locked door and the pool is located in the owner's garden and you have to ask to use it! There are not enough seats outside for 4 guests and the area is very dusty. Also very little cupboard/wardrobe space for a family of 4. Nevertheless we made the best of it as we had booked for 9 nights and spent full days away from the property at the numerous beautiful beaches in Newcastle.Then the icing on the cake..... we paid to hire the 4 bedded accommodation at the full fixed price as advertised on the website explaining at the time of booking that our 2 sons were joining my husband and I at a later date. To our amazement as we were leaving and handed back the keys, we were asked for an additional $50 for the extra guests. I explained we had hired this 4 bedded accommodation for the full asking price and when our sons joined us there were only 4 of us so no additional guests as stated on their website and at no time was there any mention that our son's would be classed as additional guests"!We shouldn't have paid this extra money as in hindsight we feel we have been scammed.... especially as we cleaned the property and washed the bed linen and towels before we left!!!"

Such a quiet and peaceful place. The house owner was just so friendly and helpful. All the rooms are very clean and really comfortable to stay. I will definitely come back to stay here again in the future.

Just finished up our second stay at Werekataba and decided to book a third for the summer. This is a really special place which is amazing value for money. We didn’t get to explore as much this time due to the rain but we really love it here and am looking forward to our next visit already. Thanks for another lovely stay.

We had the most wonderful stopover at Werekataba. Our host John greeted us with freshly made brownies and showed us the features of the accomodation. The bedrooms rooms were large and the bathroom included a spa and amenities. The accomodation is very warm and homely. The gardens and wildlife are magnificent . We were offered a high chair, cot and baby bath for our little one which made our stay easy. John went way above and beyond to help us which was greatly appreciated. We will return!

Absolutely gorgeous place to stay. We was only there for the weekend. Unfortunately we didn't get to take full advantage of all the splendours of the garden.
