The cottage is exactly as seen in the pictures, warm, sweet and surrounded by a lovely garden. It has a big kitchen with lots of amenities except a dishwasher which was not a problem for us. The washing machine is a plus if you have kids who like getting dirty. The beach is a 5 minute walk through the sand dunes and the motu trail is just around the corner for biking enthusiasts. The beds were too soft for our taste but we slept well anyways:)
