Deb + Rob. We will always appreciate our 3 week stay sharing your slice of paradise in the Bay of Plenty. Your cottage was spacious, warm, comfortable, and clean, the fully functional kitchen enabled us to cook locally-sourced produce, and the rain water from the tank was delicious. The cottage views are spectacular and bliss-inducing, including the drive up and down the hill to the cottage. The short walk to Summerville Recreation Reserve was an unexpected gift of pastoral beauty, and a local farm offered the odd opportunity to pet lambs. All with wraparound ocean views of the Bay. Your cottage was the perfect, quiet base from which to explore the Coromandel Peninsula, the bucolic landscape from Matamata to Te Aroha, the Bay from Mt Maunganui to Whakatane, and south to Rotorua and surrounds for some thermal pool action. Quite simply, a stunning experience made all the better by your warm hospitality and gracious generosity.
