We were welcomed with a lovely basket of breakfast essentials bread and milk in the fridge.
The cottage was exactly as discribed, beautifully clean and had everything we needed for our six week stay.
The view over the bay was amazing as was waking up to bird song. The bay is perfect for a swim and only a short walk away. If you fancy a picnic another short walk to Pony Point is well worth the steep walk!
The bus stops at the he bottom of the drive a change at Lyttelton takes you through to Christchurch bus station were you can transfer to most places on the island. The bus drivers are very friendly and helpful even when we got on the wrong bus!!
It takes about half an hour to walk into Lyttelton either along the road or the path along the bay.
Claire was very helpful and easy to contact before and during our stay. There are many books and leaflets in the cottage with plenty of ideas for days out also talk to the locals to find places to see which are off the main tourist routes.
