Capital "C" for Charming - lovely, spacious outdoor patios where you can actually hear (but not see) the ocean waves. Beautiful flowers and comfy chairs. Lots of glass doors so you feel like you are outside. Antique hardware adds to the charm of the cottage. Very large private cottage with an upstairs for extra accommodations - which we did not need. Jan greeted us at our arrival which was very welcoming after having traveled from Lake Taupo. We loved the feel of the cottage so much we decided to stay in and grill instead of going out for dinner. There is a small gas grill on the back patio. We couldn't decide whether to have our dinner inside or outside. We felt safe and very much like we were "on vacation". The cottage is set on a hill on near Jan's house surrounded by gardens so it was very private. Jan even had a covered parking place for us so our car was only steps away from the front door. The cottage is super clean, great location in an upscale neighborhood, fresh flowers in every room, comfortable queen bed, electric blanket, quaint kitchen with all that you need including a stovetop espresso maker. Very relaxing with attractive art on the walls. It was very thoughtful to have an umbrella and washer for us to use. It took us a little time to figure out the heater because we don't have this type in the U.S. We liked it so much we hated to leave and wished we weren't already committed for the next night. We had a nice breakfast in the garden and then continued on our journey. We definitely recommend the Coach House.
