Emilie and her family are lovely, and the cottage is a good size for a small family (but do note that there are curtains at the entrance to the bedrooms rather than doors) Emilie was a thoughtful host, leaving nappy bags and a changing table out for our daughter and her husband gave me a much needed lift to the train station to get into Wellington. Its a great rural place to stay but within travel distance from Wellington. We loved meeting the chickens and the cows too!
