We had a fantastic stay at Kowhai Classic. The back section is very tranquil & private and the views are lovely. The house is extremely well equipped compared with most holiday rentals we've visited. The only exception is no coffee machine so coffee lovers will have to get their fix in town or bring their own machine like we did.
The house is very spacious and comfortable but the second bathroom and kitchen are getting very dated, tired and run down. This didn't bother us but if you're after a modern kitchen set-up you may want to try elsewhere. As I said, this wasn't an issue for us. The excellent views, ideal position and charm of the house far outweighed any niggles. I'd definitely book there again!
