We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay at Eric's place.A cosy,sunny and quiet private enclave set back from Gt North Rd.The veranda/deck accessed through french doors off the lounge and overlooking a lawn and garden getting all day sun added to the sense of space and calm.
Easy access to the city by car and convenience store shopping and coffee and food outlets within easy walking (100 metres).
Off street parking not an issue and bus lane rules easy to adapt to.
Access up a path to the cottage between 2 houses a bit of a challenge initially with luggage but from then on not an issue.
Water pressure in shower and lack of fan extractor over stove are only detractions from an otherwise lovely well appointed cottage for 2 people.
