We felt so relaxed staying at The Blacksmith's Cottage. It was exactly what the pictures showed and the description gave, so conveniently located to the wineries and beach. We had all the comforts of home e.g. hairdryer, cooking utensils plus a few extras (full bottle of milk, teas, butter, olive oil, beach bag, picnic basket) in an aesthetically pleasing location.
As the description mentions, there is no sea view, however the white sands of Onetangi beach are only a 5 minute drive away. And the cottage is so cute and lets in lots of sun and light that we still enjoyed time there, reading and drawing.
There is no TV (also mentioned in the house description), but there is excellent free wifi and a great little speaker which you can link to via blue tooth. We really enjoyed not having a TV and when we did want to watch a movie, we just played it off our laptop.
We would recommend it to anyone wanting a bit of a getaway, especially if you have a car, which we think allows you to see the best of Waiheke :-)
