The cottage has a wonderful outlook over the garden and a great outdoor area. The location is SO close to Akaora (we couldn’t believe how quickly we could drive into the village!) Kitchen has everything you could need which is great if you choose to stay in (and why would you not when you have this slice of heaven??) The photos don’t show that there are other cottages in the vicinity but we didn’t feel observed or that we were disturbing any other guests at any stage. Simone was excellent to communicate with which always makes the process so much easier! Thanks for a lovely weekend away :)
