the cottage was cosy and well appointed with delicious breakfast treats, an eclectic mix of CDs and most importantly a comfy bed. Lovely location to get away from it all, and our hosts were attentive while also respecting our privacy. Excellent directions from Sharon on how to find the place (don't rely on Googlemap) and once you have driven there once , it's easy to find. 5 minutes to Martinborough, and just round the corner from Tirohana Estate where we had a fabulous meal (thanks Toby). HawkRise Cottage was a lovely getaway retreat and just the holiday break we were looking for.
