Bay view cottage is in our opinion the best place to stay on the Chathams. It is close to all the amenities, it really is just 2 minutes to walk anywhere, be it the museum, hotel restaurant, gift shop, beach or supermarkets. The view from the lounge is stunning. The cottage is really well equipped, so warm and peaceful. Greer is a great host always ready to answer enquiries before and during the visit. The freshly laid eggs from the girls were an added treat. It is also a really good central place to go out exploring and the leaflets, books and brochures in the cottage together with keys to access sites of interest were a welcome bonus.
