We really enjoyed the cottage. It was clean and tidy, and very well equipped with all the essentials you need, including beach towels which came in super handy.
The location is great - close to the beach, the Kapiti Island ferries (right across the road!) and great cafes and restaurants.
Although the cottage is on the owner's property, it feels very private and secluded. We also enjoyed the regular visits and cuddles from the hosts' cat.
As hosts ourselves, it's always great to stay somewhere where you can see the hosts take extra care.
We will return!
