This was, for us, a wonderful stay. The setting, amidst pastures and pastoral views, is perfect. It was close to everything in the area, just a few minutes drive to the fantastic petrified forest, beautiful beaches and the rare yellow-eyed penguin viewing opportunity (they were there in mid January when we stayed.) Some people call this glamping but it is far more than that. A large and comfortable bedroom with sitting areas and a woodstove make it as good or better than any airbnb or hotel room. The kitchen and bathroom are detached across the deck and there is everything you need. The toilet is an easy to use, fresh and clean composting toilet, which is used much like a regular toilet. The cottage is situated a far distance from the nearest house for great privacy and is surrounded by hedges and has a large deck with barbecue. The shower area is clean and has good hot and cold water pressure. Highly recommended. Kudos to the hosts.
