An outstanding accommodation: the Victorian cottage has been upgraded to current 5 star standards. All of the appliances, furniture and linens were new and well appointed creating a very hospitable and pleasant space.
We were delighted to be centrally located in the upscale town of Matakana replete with great food and shops. I was thrilled to walk out the door, cross the street and have pedestrian access to the river as well as the coffee shops, bakery, grocery store, pub, hair salon and the cinema. What fun to live in a town without a car! However, the town is in a great location for many day car trips in this beautiful part of the world.
If the White Cottage was closer than the 14 hours air time from San Francisco, we would be regular visitors! We will try to return again but in the meantime we will be certain to recommend this special accommodation to friends and family.
Thank you Amy and Simon!
