Absolutely amazing Cottage. Unfortunately we only stayed for one night, but if we could repeat our trip to New Zealand, i would have stayed here during the whole time and make day trips from here (not far from Auckland, Taupo, Matamata). Francesca is an adorable person, we managed to meet her before leaving.
The cottage, despite being within countryside with some lovely animals nearby (Channel, the Cat came around and we managed to play with her a lot), is spotless clean. The deck offers an amazing view, where you can enjoy a meal or cup of tea with the sound of birds.
I cannot find a single negative thing about Francesca and Dave cottage. Will definitely stay here again.
