We loved The Boat Shed. Being so close to the beach was a big highlight for us and we walked down and played in the waves multiple times. Super delightful to be able to do this so easily.
The cottage itself was well set up. A table big enough to spread out on, a big bathroom, nice couch and chair, comfy bed. The kitchenette is small but they all are. A larger refrigerator would be helpful - it's one of those tiny hotel size ones.
If you want to hole up and rest, rejuvenate and spend time in nature, this is the place for you. Do your grocery shopping in Invercargill so you don't have to keep running back into town like we did.
