AvoStay Cottage - peaceful orchard retreat

A short drive from Whangarei, this modern cottage is set within an avocado orchard. It is sunny, warm and quiet, providing a calm and relaxing environment away from the urban hustle. The cottage is fully self-contained and suitable for short or longer term stays. It is ideally situated for day trips to the Kauri forests near Dargaville and to Northland's stunning Bay of Islands and further north. Day trips to nearby beaches are a must, particularly in the warmer months. The space Surrounded by avocado trees and native plantings, the orchard is a haven for kereru (wood pigeons), tui and many other bird species. Quests are likely to wake up to the sounds of pukeko calling and rabbits bouncing across the front lawn. Guest access The cottage is on one level with only two steps to the entrance. There is a hand railing if needed. Most often guests can check in after 1pm. Guests are welcome to wander through the orchard, bearing in mind that it is a horticultural operation. While we ask that fruit not be picked off the trees, guests can help themselves to avocados found on the ground (these will be fine to eat). Other things to note As the cottage is set within an operational orchard, there may be a tractor or fruit picking machinery working during harvesting.
