What a gem! We felt like we were staying on the estate of a family friend—the hosts are incredibly friendly and helpful while also giving complete privacy. The views are magical. We had a lot of rain during our 3-night stay but we didn’t mind because we enjoyed relaxing in the cottage and watching the storms roll in and out above the property, which feels like a private expansive rainforest. The cottage was luxurious by our standard—loads of wood work, completely spotless, clean as could be with all the comforts of home. We’ve stayed in over a dozen Airbnbs in New Zealand and this is by far one of our favorites. Highly recommend!
