We had a great stay in the cottage over the Christmas period. We were looking for something that felt a bit cozy and yet spacious while we explored the surrounding area. It’s totally drivable to Abel Tasman National Park if you are planning on visiting (which we did on 3 days of our stay). The cottage is extremely close to the main residence so do keep that in mind if you prefer to have additional privacy - for us it wasn’t really an issue and we enjoyed have the hens, ducks and cats wandering around 😊
