We loved staying at Pixie Cottage. Judith was a very accommodating host which we really appreciated. The cottage itself is well located, only a short walk from the centre (about 1 km) and close to Marine Parade and the cycle tracks. We were a family of four with a 10 and an 8 year old. Ideally one bedroom would have had the option of twin beds (just to avoid the spats at bedtime!) but the cottage otherwise functioned extremely well for us. Things important to me - comfortable beds and pillows and dark curtains in the bedrooms - all boxes ticked here! Well stocked kitchen and plenty of heating options for colder nights. Quick tips for eating/drinking - we weren't impressed with the local coffee shop on the corner but loved Mister D and Georgia on Tennyson for coffee. Rasoi on Marine Parade has the best Indian we have tasted in a long time outside India. Highly recommend a stay here.
