Stayed here with family (including guests visiting from Singapore) for our visit to northland looking for a break from the city life. The hilltop cottage offers breathtaking countryside (and sea in the distance) views from the bedrooms, kitchen/dining area & the deck, great for nature lovers and is surrounded by farms. Clare's place is spacious, sparkling clean and had all the amenities to accommodate a mid sized group like ours. Kitchen was fully equipped with all cooking essentials and continental breakfast. My guests loved the place as well and it exceeded our expectations. Clare was very hospitable, extended us a warm welcome upon arrival and goodbye on check out. Her communication and guidance was quick and very helpful. Definitely going to consider this place next time we visit the north.
