Our stay at the Candlemaker's Country Cottage was wonderful. We didn't arrive till very late and Jan was great making sure a light was on for us. Everything you could possibly need was catered for from the fresh homemade biscuits to free range eggs and bacon for breakfast. After a long drive up the North Island, the shower was wonderfully refreshing and the bed so comfortable. The cottage is located very close to Hampton Downs race track which was great as we were attending a race event there. Was nice to get back there at night and enjoy the tranquil location and all the home comforts. A great place to stay with hosts who have thought of everything to make your stay really relaxing. Wish I had been able to spend time enjoying sitting on the deck with a book as the outlook is lovely.
