This cosy cottage was very comfortable and managed to be bright and airy while also being tucked away and private. The beds were really comfortable, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent. All the amenities you could need were provided for and the small touches were appreciated. The instructions for the cottage were all clear and easy to use. Shops and restaurants were within walking distance or a short drive away and people were very friendly. We loved going for walks and exploring the neighbourhood, and can highly recommend the Northern Walkway. (We walked up to Mt Kaukau which looks down upon the cottage in the distance, and the view from up there was lovely). Our hosts were responsive and helpful and the whole transaction was easy and went smoothly. We would be happy to stay here again. The only suggestion I have for the owners is that it would be nice to provide a simple outdoor setting on the back patio, to further enhance the stay.Thank you, Rochelle
