We enjoyed our two-nights' stay in Charlotte and family's Post Office Cottage. Firstly, we booked only 2 days out and she was quick and happy to accommodate us, and even was open to us playing it by ear to stay an additional night. I'm sure all parents traveling with little ones, like we were, can appreciate this flexibility. It was in a quiet, tucked back and wooded setting while also being close (about 15 minutes) to New Plymouth and Mt Taranaki (about 20 minutes to visitor centre). Our one-year-old son especially enjoyed his stay with us there. It being winter, we were concerned about heating for our little one, so we decided to bring out own heater, but I'm sure most people could sleep warmly and comfortably (if you're not concerned about a little one like we were) in the cottage with the heaters provided as well as the electric blanket on the queen bed. Charlotte also provides a portable cot (Pack n' play), but experienced some difficulties setting it up. This wasn't an issue at all though, because she gave us sufficient notice ahead of time so that we could bring our own (and she offered to get one locally if we didn't have one of our own). Our son also really loved exploring the toy box that was left in the cottage for him. All these special touches made it the perfect getaway for us and we look forward to visiting the Cottage again to experience and enjoy it in other seasons!
