We spent six nights at this cottage which was well located for our main activity … cycling the Great Taste Trail. We can thoroughly recommend the routes inland to Brightwater and Wakefield, and up the coast to Mapua. This cottage is also very handy for Richmond, which offers a good choice of shops and eateries, and even closer to the Eddyline Pizzaria and Brewpub … well worth a visit! The cottage is charming and comfortable with plenty of TV/movie options for visitors though watch your head upstairs in the main bedroom where the bed is squeezed under the eaves. Kitchen supplies were on the lean side but, if the season is right, the hosts offer access to some delicious citrus.
