The Cottage is in a small crescent of houses that overlooks Snells Beach. It takes about 3 mins to drive to the local shops or 7 min walk along the main road. There is a 5 min walk to the beach through the next road of houses. It is a steep walk back up, so not great for those with mobility problems.
The bach is well equipped with everything you'd need for staying for a few days.
It is a good size for a family of 4. There was only myself and my husband and we enjoyed the space. The views are stunning from the deck and main bedroom. It is a quiet area.
There is a very steep driveway from the road and you need to be careful to park on the flat with the handbrake on!
There are loads of things to do around Snells Beach area - Sculpture Trail at Brick Bay Vinery, Algies Bay for boating, Goat Island is 1 hour away, eating out in Matakana, shopping in Warkworth. You will need a car.
We loved The Cottage and if we return, we will book again!
