For some reason we were expecting a stand alone cottage but instead it was a house divided in two. If we had someone staying in the second half of the house, I could foresee a bit of romance being spoilt. That's the only real concern with the house but there is so many positives with this place.
1. Pet friendly. We took our dog. The yard was as described:- small and Unfenced:- so we made plans with the nearby doggie day care center. Our dog stayed there during the day and was with us at night. A dog friendly beach is close by. Hassle free booking with a pet. Big thumbs up from this dog lover.
2. Warm. This place was lovely and warm with its fireplace for those cold weather stays. Loved that the fire was ready to go for us.
3. Location. Beautiful views and we were surprised how quickly we got into town and other places of interest. There is no takeaway joints close by and in our minds that is a bonus. As mentioned in email communications by owner go shopping before you head to the cottage as the kitchen is adequate to make most meals.
4. Parking was a bit tight for large vehicles. We have a dual cab ute and it was interesting to park it. Take a small vehicle if possible.
5. Awesome owners. They were only a phone call away and they answered emails very quickly.

We will definitely rebook this accommodation for future visits to Wellington.
