Clean, high ceilings, very comfortable beds, fantastic view of the sea. Very friendly and helpful staff. Balcony big enough to sit on and eat. We were helped carry our luggage up stairs.

We enjoyed being there so much we asked if we could extend our stay. Sadly, they were booked so we were unable to. However, due to how much we enjoyed our time there, we are hoping to come back next year and stay again. The cottage is so comfortable that we cancelled our dinner reservations and grabbed food at the local grocery and ate in both nights. With the ocean on one side, mtns on the other, why would you want to be anywhere else? Extremely well equipped with everything you could need. Comfortable, relaxing, and beautiful setting all rolled up in one. Thank you for all the special touches included in your cottage. Our favorite place in NZ so far.

Amazing place to stay, loved the architecture of the house, the layout, very fresh and clean, spotless, well equipped kitchen, fun to cook in and to stay in this beautiful place, with the nice garden.
