My brother and I stayed at the Karaka Cottage for the Ironman race. Delia was a most gracious and thoughtful host, and went to extra lengths to make us feel super welcome and comfortable during our stay. Our race day went very well and Delia even stopped at the run course turnaround point to cheer for us! The kitchen inside the cottage is well equipped, and has a nice Fisher Paykel dishwasher which made it a breeze to home cook meals and wash up after. We highly recommend staying here and would definitely come back again.
