My husband and I stayed at Kotare Flat for 10 days and it was absolutely marvellous! Marnie gave us a cheerful introduction upon our arrival and ran us through the necessities.. After moving on to stay in 2 other airbnbs as our holiday continued in NZ, we must say this was by far the best in terms of standard! From hot/cold packs to body balms, first aid kit and even Vicks rub - we truly appreciated all we could get during winter! The kitchen was very well stocked as well and we enjoyed her chooks' eggs :). What a delightful bunch the chooks were! Peppy and eagerly grabbed bread we fed every morning!
The flat is fantastic - clean, well furnished and it was obvious that its touches were made to make everyone feel truly at home! The flat also provided amazing views of the surrounding hills. Whether it was snowing or sunny, hills completely covered in low cast clouds - the view from the living area was amazing! We also hiked up the hills a little during sunrises to take in beautiful views of Sumner Beach and the beautiful Taylor's Mistake.
Sumner is such a charming little village with good food and facilities, and we are very glad to have picked Kotare Flat. Thanks again Marnie, we enjoyed our conversations with you (thanks for your advice and insights too!). We'd recommend this place highly!!
