The Blacksmith Cottage is a special spot, both inside and out. Andy and Louise were so very helpful before and during our stay. The place was spotless and such fun in all the decor. The location was even better, a bit above and away from the bustle of the beach, but just a 5 min walk made it the best of both worlds. Without a car, we felt comfortably connected with several options for walks right out the door (Vineyard Valley walk and Te Ara Hura) and the bus stop down at the beach. We loved it and would definitely stay again!
