That’s a perfect stay - look no further in Taranaki area. Place was even better than we expected : spacious, comfortable, clean and lovely, with many nice little touches and plenty amenities, including several heaters. Cottage is absolutely private, communication with hosts was neat. Balcony / terrace area is nicely bathed in the sun in the morning, is also private and with a glimpse of ocean and plenty of trees.
P.s. don’t ignore ginger car - he expects you to pet him as Hello ;)
