The cottage was perfect for a weekend getaway for relaxing. The views are amazing and the fire warms the cottage up so it's nice a cosy. It is ideally located to access lots of options on the Kapiti Coast - we went walking at Otaki Forks, checked out the shops in Otaki and had dinner in Waikanae. We didn't take mountain bikes but it would be perfect for anyone wanting to take advantage of the great Dirt Farm tracks. Tim and Carina were great hosts and there was everything we needed there.
