I promise you the pictures don’t do this place justice. So thoughtfully crafted, this simple adorable cottage was recently built by the owner (it mimics the footprint and exterior design of a traditional gold miners cottage) makes a splendid getaway. Of two weeks in New Zealand, it was my favorite accommodation and for half the price! Owners are delightful and live in the main farmhouse on property- cows out back and set way back from the road, (a nice straight road- I think it was the only straight road we drove in NZ) that road noise was not an issue. Ridiculously clean, gleamingly fresh, quality materials, fixtures and appliances., super cute. You’d be crazy not to stop and stay here for a while on the way to or from the Coromandel Peninsula.
