We had a lovely stay at Julia’s Nikau cottage retreat. Although, I would say that some of the appliances were dated and shabby. I would highly recommend a more modern TV, for the rainy days and some of the kitchen appliances. The dishwasher smelt bad when we used it, stunk out the whole room for hours. The photographs depict privacy and we were a little taken back that another lodge was right next to ours, so really not private at all when you are outside on the deck.
