Everything was perfect! Very clean (and I’m a bit of a clean-freak so that’s saying much), cozy and warm (it was windy and rainy outside but we were cozy and warm inside and didn’t even notice the weather), just great. Kids toys, highchair and bowls were a very nice touch, much appreciated by the kiddies, and so were the trampoline outside and the chooks (usage/petting of both courtesy of the owners who leave next to the cottage). Also the view is great - over the berry garden (as the name says). Too bad that we didn’t have time to go berry picking. Loved that Te Awamutu is just 5min drive away with plenty of dining and drinking options. The rose garden also looked great but we didn’t have time to explore it. I’d highly recommend this place for anyone visiting places nearby (we visited Raglan, Cambridge and Hamilton)!
