Mark’s cottage is absolutely gorgeous and would be the perfect place to base yourself for a few days in the bay of islands. We only stayed 1 night but wished we had planned for longer as the cottage and grounds itself are beautiful, as are the surrounding districts.
It’s a kitchenette so you can’t prepare your own meals, but there are lots of places to eat in the area and Mark and Rory give great recommendations. Lovely breakfast items (fresh bread, jam, milk, juice, cereal) and snacks (chocolate, chips, nut bars, fresh fruit) are provided which makes it that little bit more special.
Rory and Mark are very hospitable, they are happy to show you around the garden or leave you to your own devices if that’s what you prefer.
Would not hesitate to recommend!
