Lovely place to stay in such a beautiful quiet and peaceful area. Watched the sun come up out of the sea from the beach each morning, just stunning! Very comfy bed, well equipped kitchen with full stove. I appreciated the small vase of pretty fresh flowers and we enjoyed the cubes of ice to have in our tonic with delicious Dancing Sands gin which is made in Takaka and one of our favorites! Thank you for your thoughtful touches Gabriele ☺️ I would highly recommend staying at Gabrieles cottage by the sea.
