The cottage is perfect for a great few days in this centrally located town. We were able to strike out to the Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove from here, as well as the excellent walks in Karangaheke Gorge. And the town itself is interesting with all of the great antique shops. Best of all is The Refinery Cafe, a unique venue anyone would travel miles to go to. The cottage is very homely, clean and comfortable, and we loved staying in it.
