We were thrilled to find this historic jem tucked by the side of a gravel road next to the railway station. The tranquil ambience is just what one could wish for by the end of a turbulent covid year. The antique furnishings add great joy to anyone escaping the hassle of a modern urban life. The convenient location made the local trips to Waikino and Waihi Beach easy and enjoyable. What a shame the Google maps made the easy access pretty complicated when I entered "46 Wrigley St" instead of the simplest "Shunters Cottage". The latter choice (Shunters Cottage) is recommended, otherwise you would be easily misled to nowhere. Our sincere thanks to the host in their every effort to preserve the kiwi heritage and wish that everyone coming here cherish this rare opportunity.
