If I could give 6 stars for Andy and Mary Ann’s cottage, I would! First, the space itself is heavenly. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was spacious, and Mary Ann made the space extra special by providing fresh eggs, strawberries, milk and a few other provisions for our first morning. The patio had a gorgeous view of the vineyard and we were lucky to see a hawk in the morning.
What made our visit beyond special, was the hospitality of Mary Ann and Andy. Due to a cancelled flight, we weren’t able to arrive on our scheduled day and had to drive in the next morning. Additionally, there were some unseasonably high winds so we were unable to ride our bikes to the vineyards. Mary Ann was so kind and caring that she offered to drive us into town and pick us up so we could enjoy the wine tours. She also took us to a winery that she recommended and gave us some other quality recommendations. It was like we had our own private tour guide!
You cannot go wrong with booking this cottage. If we are lucky enough to travel back to New Zealand, we will spend a week with Mary Ann and Andy.
