Located in Manakau, Manakau House The Old Manakau Hotel 1920 features a shared lounge, garden and free WiFi. Private parking can be arranged at an extra charge.

The units at the hotel are equipped with a seating area. Guest rooms include a shared bathroom, free toiletries and bed linen.

You can't judge a book by its cover! The inside of this historic hotel was charming, comfortable and quiet. The host gave my friend and me private rooms even though we booked a shared room because we were to get only guests in the hotel. She was very kind and thoughtful. I highly recommend - especially if you like historic buildings.

Set in Otaki in the Wellington region and Otaki Beach reachable within 2 km, Anam Cara Gardens luxury Villa offers accommodation with free WiFi, BBQ facilities, a garden and free private parking.

HortResearch is 50 km from the lodge. The nearest airport is Kapiti Coast Airport, 24 km from Anam Cara Gardens luxury Villa.

I was travelling to New Zealand with my sister to see our brother and flying down to the South Island from Wellington. Anam Cara is about 45 minutes drive, so we decided to stay somewhere peaceful, and this fitted the bill perfectly. Everything about the place is top quality, and it's set in remarkably well maintained grounds. Don't hesitate to book.

    Loved the place, Adrian took us around to see the farm with our toddler, fed the cows and offered to feed the chickens the next morning before we left. Had everything we needed and more. The electric blankets was amazing for the cold winter night.

    The cottage was a beautiful place to relax and enjoy a week end away. Everything we needed was available and extras too. The cottage was amazing, serene, beautiful and had such a calm feeling about.it. Both nites had ģood sleeps, the bed was comfy and the house was warm. Robyn the owner lived at the back and was on hand if anything required. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cottage with us. We will be back for sure and this time will have that massage. Look forward to our next trip to Saffron Cottage. From The Tasi Family
