We stayed in a three bedroom chalet that was very well appointed, clean, comfortable and homey. Management staff were very help with local dining and activity tips and suggestions. They even offer loaner mini-shovels for hot water beach excavations!
When returning to the chalet in the late afternoon the interior was very hot as is probably expected summer without any a/c. However without any screens on the windows or sliding doors it was difficult to air without inviting bugs into the home. Our solution was to just return home later in the evening.
This is a beautiful property in a great position close to the beach. The accommodation has everything you need and is in great condition. The grounds are gardens are also very well maintained.
Lovely cottage , very private, spacious, loved the birds (felt like we were in the bush).
Staff were very helpful. Highly recommend,

Relaxed hideaway
A wonderful place to unwind. Fully equipped room in a beautifully landscaped gardens. Close to the ferry landing for visits to whitianga. Across the road is a lovely walk thru the bush to Lonely Bay. Highly recommend this accommodation.
The cottage was super clean, really well set up kitchen, beautiful decor inside and nice landscaping outdoors. Great location, would highly recommend Flaxmill
Accommodation and surroundings gardens was excellent, best we have stay at.
Only downside was main seating in lounge area, 2 wicker seats, these were very uncomfortable.
Came here on a whim, want to stay forever. These units are so well appointed, spotless, current, just top notch. We run 2 vacation rentals in Santa Barbara and all I can say there isn't one thing I need. spot on amazing. I want to come back next year for a month!
Beautiful location and wonderfully laid out - Flaxmill was everything you could ask of a holiday park.
Our cabin was a good size, landscaped so that it was quiet and private but enjoying the proximity to all the facilities that you could require.
One of our favorite places that we stayed on our New Zealand trip. The 3 bedroom house was the perfect layout for our family of four. Very comfortable, updated and had everything we needed. The garden view was lovely and being able to open all the sliders was so nice. Very convenient to walk to Shakespeare Cliff and beautifully Lonely Bay and short drive to stunning Cathedral Cove. We did make the mistake of trying to go out for a late dinner to find everything closed the first night, so bought groceries to cook in the second night and ate out on the patio and listened to the birds. If you want night life, this isn’t the place for you, but for a tranquil place in a modern yet comfortable cottagey place that’s convenient to great hikes, it’s perfect. Would definitely go back.
