We enjoyed our stay at Rosie’s Cottage. The cottage was clean, private, and steps to the beach. Big fridge, washing machine and loads of amenities. The bed and fresh linens were lovely. Gay was responsive, friendly, and accommodating. We loved the goodies on arrival! The cottage is a throwback to a classic kiwi bach so it’s designed for retro charm rather than function and comfort. It’s small. Ideal for one person; cozy for two. There’s no air conditioning so it was uncomfortably warm at night. I suspect the cottage would get rather toasty in midsummer (there is a little fan). We also missed having comfortable chairs to fall into at the end of the day. The retro chairs and seating arrangement looked aesthetically pleasing, but they weren’t comfortable or inviting. We also found ourselves having to duck (not always successfully) to avoid the low hanging light shades. Aside from these things (intended as observations rather than criticisms), we enjoyed our experience. Great host!!
