Loved it!
It’s not a huge cottage, but somehow the smallish physical space felt welcoming – as well as a hand-chalked note! And our host and hostess came and visited when we were settled to check all was well – which it was. It’s one of those ‘wouldn’t mind staying a bit longer’ kind of cottages. When clement, we breakfast/lunch/dinner-ed on the verandah and soaked up the views of the Hokianga Harbour. The written ‘local walks’ instructions are brilliant and should be plagiarised by the local council (and there’s a bird ID series of pages). Recommended and then some!
