You can expect a warm welcome here. The cottage is lovely with lots of personal touches. I loved all the patchwork and sewing. The cottage is in an idyllic setting with stunning views from the deck and birdsong in the garden. It was comfortable and very well equipped. The location is perfect for walking or cycling the Karangahake Gorge and there is lots to do and see in the area. I cannot recommend this place highly enough especially if you are interested in the countryside and nature.
