This cottage was a very special place to stay - it has a 'NZ Historic Places Trust' plaque outside the front door, and it had the atmosphere of stepping back in time, which we loved.
We were also spoilt by some delicious Christmas cake when we arrived, and the hosts had left lots of other breakfast and snack things in the kitchen.
The setting is wonderfully peaceful and we loved sitting outside on the deck enjoying the quiet and the birds.
We didn't want to leave!
