The cottage is simple but warm and well appointed, in a quaint part of Napier. It's probably best used as a base to explore the region, and is good value for the price. We met James briefly upon check in and he was very helpful and welcoming. The location did confuse our GPS so those driving should take a quick look at a map before plotting their route. Otherwise, we had no issue with Chaucer cottage and would happily recommend to others.
