Hydrangea Cottage is just perfect, the view is amazing and it is a very peaceful place to be. Janet and Noel have thought of everything to make a stay there very comfortable and were really welcoming. There were extra touches too such as eggs from their chickens, fruit from the garden and some naughty chocolates. The kitchen has a small oven and gas rings and there is also a washing machine. Athenree is quite central to go off and do other things in the area, explore the beaches and coves, go to the Karangahake gorge for walks, just beautiful.
