Classy cottage with excellent linens on comfy bed and awesome shower, bathroom appears newly remodeled as do kitchen area cabinets. Cute vintage nic-nacs all around, classic vintage furniture too. Rosie has left everything in the kitchen so a couple can easily cook on the 2-burner stovetop and microwave, or the BBQ out on the lovely covered patio. We loved the patio and neighborhood and walk down to beach, starry nights and nice sunrises and water view out window. Rosie is so nice, and checked with us at check in and after and at check out to make sure we were enjoying it. She even left us some eggs, cereal, milk, yogurt and fruit. We enjoyed days such as drive to Akaroa and Banks Peninsula and then to come back and relax at this cute cottage.
