Bed and Breakfast Wisdome Cottage Countrystay Wellsford New Zealand

Wisdome Cottage is the perfect place to relax and unwind, whatever the season. There's plenty to do locally, or you're welcome to just wander the grounds, meet the sheep, or grab a book to read under a totara tree. We have complimentary kayaks and bicycles for guests to use - the local area is perfect for bike riding, having quiet, tar sealed roads and delicious restaurants within cycling distance!

Just ten minutes from the main highway, the cottage is within easy reach of superb beaches, wineries, regional parks, marine reserves, the historic township of Warkworth and the beachside holiday village of Mangawhai.
