This was truly one of the nicest and well-situated places we stayed in on our entire trip through NZ. We (three adults and one child) LOVED it - the cottage, the stove, the trampoline, the jacuzzi. Everything just felt about perfect. The location, minutes away from the beach, was equally great. The beach is amazingly beautiful with surprisingly very few people. Tess was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. I wish we lived closer so that we could come back! Def. recommend!
