Thank you so much Tika and Paul! The cottage, gardens, and views are amazing - there are little porches scattered throughout the property to give you a breathtaking experience from every angle! The community is so great, from the hikers we met between the lighthouse and seal colony, to the surfers in Tauranga Bay (world class surf experience), to the owner staff and dog at the Star Tavern - Cape Foulwind is an absolutely magical place and one that I would recommend to anyone.
The cottage was new with a bed that was to die for. The kitchen was perfect -
gas range and oven allowed us to even cook our Thanksgiving dinner...NZ style :) Finally the bathroom and shower were great - that water pressure was impressive! We loved it all so much that we spent an extra night!
My wife and I are hopeful that life will bring us back here as it truly was a special place. If this place is available BOOK IT!
