Rebecca's cottage was really the perfect way to get a nice taste of the Golden Bay, we had to park at Bydder's Reserve, and walk a short distance along the beach but Rebecca picked us up half way there in her pickup truck. She was very nice and had great tips for exploring the area. The cottage was really nice, on a beautiful property with sheep and ducks. On our way back that night we both saw more stars than we had ever seen, and listened to the waves crashing on the shore. We had dinner at the Mussel Inn about 15 minute drive from the house, and I would highly recommend going there and sitting by the fire for a beer, that they make there, or dinner. They had really good lasagna. We'd definitely stay at Rebecca's place again when we come back in the summertime!
