The cottage is unique and pretty cool. I like that sheep are nearby. We drove to the wrong driveway (oops!) so be sure to look for the white sign posted on fence/rail that says “KAKARIKI COTTAGE”. :) The firefly lights in tree at night to indicate the turn for the driveway are helpful and a nice touch. Huge, comfy bed - just what we needed after our travels. Only issue we had was that we were welcomed by a swarm of flies inside the cottage (at least 10 of them). They’re small but still nuisances. We used the bug spray but my boyfriend also spent a good bit of time killing them. Not sure if this is a common occurrence in NZ. Realized later on when we went upstairs for bed that the window up there was open prior to our arrival. Other than that, our stay was good! Nathan was responsive and communicated understandings.
