The Country Cottage is the perfect home away from home. The setting is rural, and we loved the birdlife around us - the dawn chorus of bellbirds, the inquisitive weka and the friendly tomtit. Great to have a carport to unload the car next to the cottage. The place was spotlessly clean, the lounge was spacious and comfortable, enjoying lots of sun. The bedroom has a huge king bed plus a spare single, and the bathroom has a good strong shower.
We alternated between eating in and out. Cooking facilities are all there, including a barbecue. Hokitika is no more than fifteen minutes drive away and has a good variety of eateries plus a New World supermarket for supplies.
Our day trips covered north to Punakaiki and south to Franz Josef, plus exploring the local area. We walked up to the nearby Tunnel Terrace walk to see the old mining tunnels in the bush.
We thoroughly recommend the Country Cottage for your next trip to the West Coast!
