This charming cottage in the heart of Lyttelton was an ideal getaway as we worked on some interior varnish on our floating (boat) home in the marina. The location is wonderful, situated just above all the quaint shops of downtown Lyttelton. We enjoyed fragrant roses and jasmine, as well as the outdoor deck in the gardens surrounding this vintage space. The bed was truly wonderful with some nicer than average linens. A fireplace was available and we had one cold night with which to appreciate its nice design. The kitchen was spacious and really had all that you could need, but a little bit in need of some TLC and updating for an improved aesthetic. They've completely redone the bathroom and it's quite clean and nice, though a bit of a walk from the bedroom, with about 3 different small steps to negotiate (I managed to trip more than a few times). All in all, we really enjoyed our stay here. For people appreciating the charm of older spaces, this is just heavenly.
