Beautiful, well kept cottage in a great location. October was a great time of year to visit with lambs outside and bluebells in the garden (and in a vase inside on our arrival). Gorgeous big gardens attached to the main property, as well as the station itself. Waimārama beach and Waitōtara falls were great places to visit during our stay, as well as Havelock North - plenty for a family to do over a few days. Not our scene but it would probably make a great base for a weekend of visiting local vineyards as well.
