Super cozy and private little house in the forest. The outdoor patio is very well sized and a great area to hang out if the weather allows it. The house itself is as pictured, very small but cozy and well equiped. We had 2 large suitcases for our 3 week trip and then it was a little tight to get around the house.
It is not a water toilet so good to be prepared for that if you read the description too quickly.
Piha is amazing and the cottage is well placed for a short drive down to the beach etc.
Overall one of our coziest and charmiest airbnbs in new zealand.
