Great place, stayed for a whole week and enjoyed it a lot. Excellent views of the port from both inside the house and on the deck. If you haven't been to Lyttelton before, be aware that the streets are extremely steep, and it's a bit of a hike up to the cottage. But that's where the views come from. You'll find yourself structuring your day around making sure you only walk down and up once. The parking is nice and easy to navigate even with the steepness. Highly recommend this as a getaway spot.
