35 minutes from Cosy Country Cottage
Otorohanga — New Zealand's Kiwiana town — is about 35 minutes south of the cottage on the way to Waitomo. The Kiwi House is the drawcard, one of the best places in the country to actually see a kiwi, along with tuatara and native birds.
It makes an easy add-on to a King Country trip from the cottage: the Kiwi House in the morning, Waitomo in the afternoon, and back to your own quiet patch under Pirongia for the night.
