Oliver's coastal cottage was one of the highlights of our South Island trip! We only stayed one night but wish it had been more! Firstly, his clear instructions about what to expect in reaching the cottage down the path and where to park etc were reassuring. The cottage itself is gorgeous with beautiful views, as is the property. Even though others live on the property, every care has been taken to ensure privacy. Use of the outdoor spa bath was a treat. The place is so peaceful and soaked with glorious nature. I also appreciated the provision of really nice herbal and black teas and coffee in the cottage, with milk in the fridge ready. Having since travelled around the island and stayed at various other accomodations with very basic tea/coffee and some with no milk provided, it was so nice to sit with the view and a delicious cuppa! And some cookies! Thank you for not just providing the basic, tasteless tea.
