The cottage is well-appointed, surprisingly spacious and very clean and comfortable. While it’s not far from the owner’s house, it’s very private. The setting is charming and bucolic and it’s a quick drive to Matakana and nearby beaches. The four single beds in the loft would be a bit of a stretch for under-5s, but a grand adventure for bigger kids. Having 2 bathroom made it great for a bigger group and we enjoyed a really relaxing holiday with family.
