Jennifer was a wonderful host, she accommodated our extremely late arrival (past midnight) and was very responsive to our questions throughout our stay, often popping by in person to chat. The cottage itself is very charming and clean, thoughtfully appointed with high quality furnishings. We loved the location as well, since it was quiet and calm, but only a 10 minute walk from lively Ponsonby cafes and restaurants, and only a 15-20 minute drive to the city center.
