We had a good stay, it was romantic and comfortable. I LOVED the privacy. A few things to note:
1. Its not nessecarily "remote" there is a highway nearby. But it is also really close to amneties while also feeling very private. There were earplugs provided, but the noise from the highway wasnt intrusive for us.
2. The shower pressure is uncomfortably high in the shower, I prefered using the shower head in the tub.
3. Anyone over 6 foot should just be aware to watch their heads :)
4. Not a lot of natural light, we came through in spring, even with the curtains open, but enough to feel we were still getting some sunlight.
5. Very cold! The heat pump worked well, but close all the curtains and the conservatory door for that! We came through beginning of spring, so defs seasonal.
6. There is a new fence, which blocks some of the bush views. I dont remember it in the pictures, but I could be wrong.
7. The bed was very hard for my liking, warm and comfortable blankets and sheets though.
8. There are scuffling in the ceilings, which freaked me out. It is in the bush, so your bound to get some animals, but still very common and could hear them often.
All in all, a good value stay, very private, and feels far away, while still being close to stuff. The tub was wondeful and seems made for two people. Its a comfortable and cosy stay, with plenty of blankets and everything we needed to use for three days. Full shampoo, and conditioner and soap bottles, not small ones like hotels. The communication was short, but thourough, and the wifi is really good!! There was a lot of cables and stuff to hook up to the tv, and a full kitchen which we cooked a roast in. Thankyou for allowing us to get away from auckland in your lovely little cottage :)
