The Gum Tree Cottage was lovely. The pictures did not do the view of the harbour justice. The place itself was cozy yet spacious and perched right on top of the hill. It had everything you needed to be comfortable - including a heated blanket on the bed! It was a little remote but surrounded by lovely hiking trails and was a quick 30 minute ferry ride across to Wellington. A great place to relax and prepare for the next leg of my adventure.
