Annie was such a warm, friendly and helpful host. She welcomed us with a beverage, crackers and a delicious homemade relish. She went out of her way to help us figure out our plan for visiting the Bay of Islands. The apartment was very comfortable and clean with a well furnished kitchenette. The yard and gardens were beautiful. We highly recommend staying at Aimeo Cottage.

Our cottage was gorgeous with a deck out front overlooking a gorgeous tree filled garden with birdsong from dawn to dusk, and a view of the bay. We can't wait to get back and stay again.

Looking for a vacation home?

Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities, though breakfast might be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different than apartments.

    Rooms were very clean but very small. Main door only just missed the bed when opened. Rooms we stayed in were very small and shower was very small. Dislike showers with curtains!! Loved the position of the place. Waitress was a bit snappy when checking on our coffee's as they were taking some time, so went to check just to make sure she knew we were sitting at the tables on the grass and she was quite rude.
