Bed and Breakfast Suite
This lovely self contained suite is separated from the house by a covered way, providing privacy, seclusion, peace and quiet. Its location upstairs provides for great views over the garden and down to the coast.
The downstairs bathroom boasts a great temperature controlled shower and plenty of big and fluffy towels.
There are two bedrooms, one with a queen bed, the other twin king singles, very comfortable with woolrest underlays and electric blankets. Duvets are cotton in summer, wool in winter. Both rooms have TV and DVD. Wireless broadband access is available, and a laptop is also available to check your emails. A heater is provided and flyscreens keep out unwanted nightlife.

Join us in the house for a delicious home-made breakfast featuring garden- fresh, seasonal fruits, our own avocados and our delightfully different preserves. You`ll find fresh fruit, home-made biscuits and a variety of teas and coffee in your rooms. Other meals can be provided, but must be pre-arranged. You can use the washing machine, barbecue and all the garden and outdoor areas. Sit on the deck and take in the views flowing out to the garden and farmland. Listen to tuis, bellbirds and other varied birdlife. 10% discount for 3rd+ nights.

Mimiha Cottage
Set on its own site beside the Mimiha stream, Mimiha Cottage is 160 metres from the house, a short walk through the garden. Native plants feature along the stream and the sound of water lends a tranquil air. The cottage is fully equipped and suitable for wheelchair access throughout.

Testimonials

We had the great pleasure of spending 9 days with Beverley and Hilton in February 09. Nothing was too much trouble for them during our stay. The cottage is superbly presented with fine views over open countryside.Thankyou for making our stay in the Bay of Plenty one we will always remember.Geoff. Stayed February 2009


I spent one spectacular month at Mimiha cottage in the comfort of a well-furnished house, far away enough to have my privacy, but close enough to the main house to have chats and help out in the garden of two of the most generous and wonderful people I have met.

The Fothergills are the essence of what it is to be good hosts and I have been lucky enough to sample the many delicious preserves Bev makes. Hilton, in his infinite kindness, also showed me around the area, both of them teaching a bit about the area and the flora and fauna of the Bay of Plenty. I could not have asked for anything more.

All the amenities one could ask for and the peace and quiet (or liveliness) of the countryside, with the wilderness of the Pacific Ocean only 5 minutes away. The best of both worlds!

Thank you!
