The cottage is in a great setting; a sunny quiet garden with lots of flowers, beautiful trees, 2 little bridges, and some sociable goats at the bottom of the driveway.
For us it was conveniently located just 1/2 a kilometre off the Great Taste bicycle trail, just 7km from the cafes at Mapua, so it was nice to linger over our lunch and still arrive with plenty of daylight to enjoy the garden. Also the perfect location for brunch at Jester House down the road, (only open Fridays), so it's the perfect Thursday night stop for that!
We liked that we could store our bicycles under a roof overnight on the deck, and that the deck extends into the sunshine on each side of the cottage.
The kitchen is small but had what we needed for a simple dinner.
Bathroom sprung a leak under the basin tap, which we didn't notice til the morning so we reported that to the hosts - hopefully all sorted now.
Thanks again Pete & Ali.
