I have just returned from a truly magical 3 nights at this cottage, and already I can't wait to return. It offers complete privacy, but not at the expense of views; they are to die for! It is the cosiest, yummiest wee cottage, but it was bigger than I expected from the photos, with ample room to do yoga in front of the fabulous fire and a really well-stocked kitchenette. It was spotless and the bed was super-comfortable, with gorgeous bedding and pillows, and the ensuite was spacious, with a wonderful spa bath — so relaxing. There was everything I needed and more. I can't rate it highly enough. There is a track all the way to Akaroa from the cottages, but even better than that is the connecting track to the Children's Bay walk way — one of the most beautiful and special walks I've done on Banks Peninsula. I hardly went into Akaroa, as with that walk on my doorstep (with a lot to explore) and such a cosy spot to spend my days and evenings, I felt like I didn't even need to venture further... except to get exceptional thai takeaways!! Thank you, Bizz. It was such a special weekend of much-needed solitude for me xox
