Kia ora koutou! This cottage is a rare gem tucked away under the protective embrace of its surrounding hills. The outdoor, covered porch offers peaceful respite for the weary traveler to look out towards the hills, with the resident donkey and horse offering curious company. Dave and his family were quick to respond and very helpful. I would recommend this spot to anyone considering a stay half-way between Kirikiriroa / hamilton and Taamaki / auckland. I will be back again in the future!
