We were very happy to find Kim's Lockwood cottage to be cosy, clean and comfortable after a long day of driving. With an autumnal nip in the air (and an abundance of apples dripping off her trees!), we were grateful for the wood she provided to get the woodburner going (although an electric heater was also present) and plenty of blankets on the beds. It is the perfect place as a base to explore the area and the nearby Maruia Springs and we were sorry to have to leave after only one night.
