We enjoyed a wonderful week at Pakawau. The cottage is very pretty and less than a 5 minute walk to the beach, where our 3 year old enjoyed playing. There are great views from the cottage, with the hills to the back, and the beach in front over the road. The hosts Jean and Bruce were very welcoming, and even provided some fresh farm milk and eggs - made for some great scrambled eggs. The area is beautiful, and the cottage is only a 15 mins drive to Farewell Spit and Wharariki beach, both spectacular. The kitchen has everything you need, and has a very cosy feel. The photos don't do the cottage justice - there is a very nice decking area with an outdoor table, with a pond in front we shared with a flock of ducks. We felt very secure and cosy, just us and the sounds of the waves, crickets and occasional moo. The beds and bedrooms are small, with bunk beds in one, and there is very limited storage space in them, although some drawers. More photos probably needed.
Overall this is a delightful cottage, in a wonderful location. Thanks for a magic holiday
