Leigh is the most amazing host we have encountered. She really went above and beyond. We had a wonderful time chatting with her over a beer. We loved everything about her cottage; the soothing colors, the crisp linens, the beautiful garden and patio area. The house is a registered historic building which is beautifully restored. It's a very short walk to everything in Whitianga, but incredibly quiet at night. We hated to leave and would love to return.
