The cottage is as picturesque in real life as it is in the photos - and the interiors are even better. It was comfy, cosy and the hosts had thought of everything - including lighters for candles and turning on the electric blankets for us before we arrived! There were also incredibly thoughtful touches like milk, bread, excellent coffee and honey set out for breakfast. Evan and his wife were very easy going and accommodating of our late arrival time and also allowed us to bring our dog. It was the ideal place to stay in Hawke’s Bay and we’ll definitely be back (if they’ll have us!)
