The little cottage is just beautiful with a great view to the park and garden. You can watch lots of birds and its very quiet and a good place to relax, even though its very close to the city. Ponsonby Road e.g. is quite close, a really cool street with lots of shops, cafes and restaurants. We walked throught the lovely neighourhood to get there. Colleen and her husband are really kind people and they made the cottage a great place to stay.
