Otley Cottage was a great base for our visit to Ōtautahi. We visited in July, and the cottage was lovely and warm when it was freezing cold outside. It is about a 15 minute walk to the Margaret Mahy Playground and Tūranga, both of which we enjoyed visiting with our kids.
It was nice and clean, and very well appointed. Karen and her team were great at communicating with us, and they organised a high chair and portacot for us at extra cost.
One thing to note if you are travelling with a car is that there is on-street parking only, and the street is quite narrow with not many parks available during the middle of the day.
Definitely recommend this cottage as a family-friendly base during your visit.
