''We fell in love with the cottage before we even stepped inside. Once inside we fell even more in love. The cottage was beautifully appointed with everything you need for a short or longer stay. The backdrop was incredible with views across the bay. Location was fantastic.''

Looking forward to coming back.''

The cottage is wonderfully located and tranquil with a lovely in and out flow. Everything you need for a relaxed holiday including kayaks for the water. Very nice welcome basket as well as a good vegetable plot to use. Highly recommend staying at the cottage.

Summary: The cottage was even better than the photos which is hard to believe because the photos were fantastic. This was a true oasis and Lesley was the perfect host. We loved all the thoughtful little touches... 2 x luggage racks plus a luggage bench in each room. The hot water bottles that matched the decor... truly Kiwiana. This is truly a place that feels like a private sanctuary.
