Three of us spent a lovely warm, comfortable night at Jan's lovely cottage before flying home and we all rated it as one of our NZ holiday favourite's in accommodation. The cottage suited us perfectly and was beautifully maintained. The location is semi rural, but very accessible to the airport. We didn't have a car, but we found the cottage was an easy walking distance to cafés, restaurants and shopping centre, but there is also the option of bus transport if required. Jan made us feel very welcome and made sure we had everything that we needed. We would have loved to have had the opportunity to stay longer - that will wait for next time!
