Philippa was a great host, very easy to communicate with and very friendly. The cottage was gorgeous and super clean, with quality kitchen gear, linen and furnishing. Philippa was also very generous offering a couple of extras. My only reservation was that we thought we were getting parking on the premises as listed, but in fact it was on the road. That said, it was not even a slight problem, but worth noting. The area was exceptional, a close walk to cafes, restaurants and a stones throw from the city and the North Shore. A perfect stay, thank you Philippa!
