Alison and Al are the perfect hosts. The cottage is cute and tidy. It has everything you could need and more. Alison has thought of everything, the kitchen is well equipped, the cottage has plenty of room that you don't ever feel like there isn't enough space. The place is warm, we never had an issue with being too hot or cold. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. Alison has a great little guide inside the cottage for the area as well so you can explore and get to know the place. It is an excellent location as it is quiet and easy to get around the Wairarapa. We would stay again.
