Magic Cottages at Takou River

Everything you can dream of for that perfect holiday -all in one place. Peace, nature, bird song, fishing, private beach, clean and comfortable accommodation and friendly hosts. The perfect getaway with friends or family. Will definitely be back.

This is a unique place with amazing views, making you feel you are miles away from the world and yet you are 15mn away from Kerikeri. The chalet is beautiful with an amazing deck overlooking the river. We recommend taking the kayaks to the beach😀

This place is absolutely stunning. We stayed for a few nights at the Glamping site and were blown away with all the amenities. We had our own jetty, canoe, fishing rods/gear and life jackets. The outdoor bath was amazing and I spent a lot of my time in there reading, gazing at the stars and just relaxing. The Glamping site was by far the most secluded of all the other sites so we were very happy that we came across no other guests at all. From previous reviews I can understand why you’d see other guests at all the other sites upon exploration of them. The bed tent was phenomenal, it had a bed with a mosquito net which was huge and very comfy, couch, bean bags, table and chairs, chest of drawers and a clothes rack. There was so much space and all you needed to take there is food and your clothes. The kitchen/bathroom shack was also very good and the deck had a bbq out on it that we actually cooked on a lot. The grounds were beautiful and we spent a few hours exploring them. We canoed down to Takou Bay on one of our days and it was pretty magical as Takou Bay has no public access. For us the only thing we could fault was the driveway, it is absolutely ridiculous if you have a low car, my partner joked that he grated the gravel for them the whole way! For us the cost was ok but you can definitely have this experience for cheaper as there are similar Glamping experiences to this in the north.
