Couldn't have asked for a better stay. Great communication, easy check-in, everything imaginable was provided for us. We were travelling with our two young children (4 and 6) and there were endless tots, books, and beach toys for them. Breakfast provisions were local, fresh, and generous. Jo added all manner of little special touches like homegrown fruit and a banana cake which was delivered impromptu, still warm! The cottage itself is sparkling clean, very comfortable, and has everything you need. Beds are comfortable, linens lovely. The location is unbeatable - one minute walk to Cook's Beach and within an easy drive of Hahei, Ferry Landing, and a 2 minute ferry ride to Whitianga. Jo and Frank are gracious, friendly, and informative hosts and we would love to return for another stay.
