We found the Blue Cottage to be a great location for our stay. It is close to Takaka and the beaches at Pohara, Tata beach and Totaranui.
The Cottage was a good size for the family and we enjoyed the games plus the log burner on cold nights. The setting is also great, as we were able to spot native birds from sat on the veranda.
We would recommend Blue Cottage for families looking to explore the area.
