This was a great little cottage with an amazing view. Tucked away atop the hills over looking the ocean I was up every morning at sunrise to catch the slow march of the sun across the hills, ocean, and islands. The cottage was comfy, warm, and very clean and well supplied. Our schedule was so hurried we were really only there late in the evenings and early in the mornings so we never met our host in person but they were very friendly and helpful via the phone and email. It was a gorgeous spot to use as a homebase maybe 8 mins from Papamoa Beach, and an easy drive to Hobbiton, Rotorua, and all. We definitely would have stayed longer if we could have.
