Villa Vie

Stayed here over the long weekend with my wife. We stayed in the river cottage and throughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was very well laid out and had cooking facilities making it viable for a longer stay. The interior was very well maintained with a cozy aesthetic.Bit of a drive from town, but a pleasant one and the level of privacy more than makes up for it.There is no wifi or cellphone reception in the cottage at this stage, but this in its self is actually a really nice feature as it makes your stay even more relaxing and peaceful.The exterior of the cottage could do with a touch up, but the surrounding grounds are immaculate.The owners were very helpful and friendly, but gave us our privacy.Good value for money and would most definitely stay again.

Absolutely wonderful stay! Never have I stayed at such a breathtaking location. Villa had everything I needed and was just so cozy. Didn't mind the drive to the city at all, will definitely stay again!

My husband booked this place as a surprise Wedding Anniversary get away.We stayed at one of two cottages on the Villa Vie grounds. We arrived late in the day and were greeted with the Lounge area heated and my beautiful flowers and photos on display (a surprise pre organised with the owners), open plan kitchen, bath and toilet clean. The bedroom was heated nicely and cosy. A great place to hide from the rest of the world - No Wifi (we downloaded a couple of movies). Close to KatiKati or Tauranga if you wanted to zip away for dinner or buy groceries. We were allowed to walk about the grounds and since it’s a Wedding Venue you could imagine the beautiful gardens when the flowers are open in full bloom. The big house looks lovely and elegant…. I would love to get married there…. I would definitely recommend staying at the kingfisher cottage if you want a break from the world and to have some intentional time with your significant other.

I stayed in the Air bnb on their property and it was spectacular! Beautiful grounds, serene, private, luxurious and wonderful hospitality! Looking forward to another visit and hopefully a future wedding! You will not be disappointed

Great secluded hidden cabin, so comfy and so quiet.. Best couples retreat
