Janelle and her husband are charming and helpful. Their garden is gorgeous ! The small private space in front of the cottage is ideal to have breakfast while enjoying the view on the garden. The cottage is small (perfect for a few days) but comfy and decorated with taste. As stated in the listing, the steps are steep but nothing problematic. It was great to ba at a walking distance form the city center and to hear the Tuis (New Zealand birds) singing on the morning. We appreciated the homemade jams and the organic milk!
