Cotter House - Auckland

Posted by default on June 23rd, 2010

Cotter HouseI decided to take my mother to a luxury retreat for the weekend as a ‘Mothers Day’ gift and we both had a fantastic time with Gloria as our hostess who gave us a tour of Cotter House as well as a historical account of how the house became what it is today and the amazing in-house art collection which is just stunning! Gloria made us feel right at home and as we sat by the open fire place she served us a fabulous high tea using the traditional silver ware followed by champagne and canapés which were simply divine!

We stayed in the Blue Provencale room which was lovely and we both woke up well rested especially my mother who said it was the best night’s sleep she had experienced in ages! We then went downstairs to our dining room where we were served breakfast which was all handmade by Gloria! We had fresh fruit from her garden and muesli as well as croissants and then French toast followed by eggs done in a Mexican style all of which was absolutely delicious!

I would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to get away and have a break or to those of you who want to be in the heart of the city but still have some privacy this in the ideal venue.

Wharekauhau Experience

Had a wonderful night here with my husband. Beautiful location, lovely accommodation and very professional staff. Food and wine was exceptional. We also made good use of the lodge’s amenities, getting quite competitive on the croquet pitch! A truely relaxing, exceptional experience which has made us re-think our ‘ultimate’ escape.

Bolton Hotel

Spent a busy couple of days in Wellington made even better by being able to return to such a lovely, modern hotel at the end of the day. The Bolton manages to make you feel really at home and offers great facilities in a great location. The staff are very helpful and accommodating. Our view was exceptional and we almost felt like we were in our own apartment. Their bubble bath is the best!
