Tess here (Graham's partner). Graham and my mum booked this as a surprise for my birthday. After having spent 6 weeks locked down in a caravan, Susie and Bob's place was a little slice of heaven where we could unwind and enjoy the nature around us. Upon arriving I found a birthday card and a few other little surprises which made us smile :)
The cottage itself is gorgeous and cosy and we particularly loved the beautiful big bath and the shower! Susie was also kind enough to keep us fully stocked with local eggs which we really appreciated. The cottage has reliable wifi and Netflix, which was nice for checking in with family and watching movies in the evening. We shared lunch with Susie and Bob one day and it was lovely to get to know them both (and Sophie) and be welcomed into their home.
Susie was a very attentive host and gave us some good pointers for local attractions and places to go during our next stop in Dunedin. Having had a bit of a wobbly few weeks given the current climate, our stay here was warm and welcoming and we felt so touched by Susie's kindness and all the little things she did to make us feel at home. If we're ever passing by we will certainly stop in again :) Thanks guys!
