You will find everything you need should you be planning a long term stay. A car is not a necessity with frequent bus service just a two minute walk away. While the cottage is quite private, Trish and Harry are just around the corner should you need anything. I enjoyed a lovely (almost) 3 month stay which was unfortunately cut short by the Pandemic. I highly recommend a stay in this clean, well-located cottage. Trish and Harry went above and beyond by providing face masks (try to find those in the stores !!!!) for the flights home and a lift to the airport. An extended stay was also an option in view of limited flights out of New Zealand.
