We are a family of four and the cottage was just right for us. It is nice that there is a large open grass area in front of the cottage (not hemmed in like some of the other units).
The swimming pool was the main attraction and we were walking distance to a few cafes, Bennets chocolate factory, and the Mangawhai tavern, and Saturday market etc.
Our weather was not great 2-9th Jan 2023. But if we had better weather, it would have been perfect.
