Kowhai Cottage was one of the nicest stays we had in New Zealand. The room is spacious with charming décor, very comfortable, and had wonderful amenities such as a private small fridge and kettle. We thought we were spoiled enough to have a ensuite bathroom only to find that it also had heated floors! With the breakfast as well, you feel like you're staying in a hotel. Victoria is proactive in her communication and quick to respond. She was accommodating with our check in time, had plenty of recommendations for us, and was a joy to chat with - the perfect host. Definitely stay at Kowhai Cottage!
