This is a very cute, very clean, nicely appointed wee cabin with good privacy (some road noise during the day from passing cars but it isn't intrusive, and the owners' house is nearby but out of sight). The setting is rural and green, looking down onto a stream (muddy in winter, inevitably) and across to paddocks. Access is good with a well-levelled short gravel drive. There's a good solid deck, and sunshine pours in on a fine day. The cottage doesn't have much planting around it - just broom and scrub and the odd manuka or coprosma - so not really one for the bird-watchers, though the magpies singing in the nearby pines at night was beautiful. ***** Everything when I visited was very clean and in good condition, except for a broken tap in the kitchen. The galley-style kitchen (a bench along one side of the main room) has a small fridge, microwave, toaster and two hot plates (no oven), and there's a bbq outdoors. The main room also has an open fire, table and chairs, a sofa and a nice soft rug on the floor. Very nice to sit and read in front of the fire. The bedroom has a beautiful double wardrobe, good bedside tables with reading lamps, and a heater (needed overnight!) plus an electric blanket on the comfy bed. The bathroom has a double shower and separate spa bath, plus double sinks and separate toilet. Plenty of clean towels, and extra blankets in the wardrobe. ***** I visited the cabin after some very wild weather and unfortunately there was an issue with the water pump, which meant I didn't stay my second night, but Joanne was very friendly and helpful in refunding me for that and I understand it's now been fixed. ***** Note: Mobile data access on Vodafone was intermittent and only the slowest connection (no 3G).
