This cottage accommodation is a stand-out for all the right reasons. It's immaculately clean and beautifully, thoughtfully fitted out. We certainly appreciated touches like the homemade shortbread on arrival, the breakfast fixings, having all the right kitchen implements, quality linen and the instant provision of any other little thing we needed, from a drying rack to bike storage. The location is perfect; country quiet in an extraordinary garden but an easy walk to town. And Jenny and John are excellent hosts who know exactly how to extend a warm welcome while respecting privacy. Staying here is reason enough to visit Hawera but Jenny knows where to find some great local gems, too. Book without hesitation!
