Very relaxing place to stay. Cute cottage. Great place to bring the dog. Basic facilities, check before you come if you want any extras. We wished we had brought a coffee plunger! Loved the bath on the deck. We enjoyed exploring the area. Waitahinga Trails are great for hiking. Bushy Park next door is delightful. Kai Iwi beach was closed for swimming so we went up the coast half an hour to Wai Inu Beach which we loved.
