Our stay in the Papermakers cottage was interesting. The house has distant views of the ocean however a large industrial site is across the road & blocks most of the view. If you are sensitive to noise you may dislike the occasional freight train passing through in the night along with the beeping sound of forklifts. The house doesn’t have a lot of privacy in the living areas as some of the windows including the back door do not have any window coverings. There's also no windows or doors with flywire screens. We were provided with one grubby stained tea towel, a stained bath towel and stained bath mat. The bath / shower is rusting in parts and missing enamel. The fireplace works well but you'll need to chop your own wood as kindling is not provided. The beds are very comfortable and the house has good hot water. The rooms are very spacious and house is handy to shops, town and the foreshore. The washing machine works well and there is detergent which is handy.
