This gorgeous Airbnb was such a retreat after driving over 1200km within the previous few days. We were ready to just slow down & this cottage provided everything for the weary traveller - a beautiful space to sit in the garden, really comfortable bed, luxurious bathroom linen & locally made toiletries, supplies for a lazy breakfast including Nespresso coffee & range of loose leaf teas, movie streaming & lots of other thoughtful touches that make this cottage such a great place to stay.
But what made it really special was the hospitality of our hosts, Toni & Prieur (& their lovely well behaved dog Max). Such kind & thoughtful people who happily shared their local knowledge. The day we were meant to leave, our flights got cancelled due to floods in Auckland...Toni & Prieur went above & beyond to help us, & the upside of this travel blip was the chance to extend our stay at this cottage. Thanks so much guys, we really hope to see you again.
