A clean, nicely styled cottage perched up on the hill amongst the nikau palms with a nice view out towards Great Barrier Island. The deck makes for a lovely summer breakfast spot. Peter is a prompt and clear communicator and the cottage had everything we needed for our stay. It is a great place to get away from it all.
Be prepared to drive to get to the beaches, wineries and shops. We really appreciated being able to use the car as we had underestimated the distances between the ferry, the cottage and other points of interest. The steps up the house could be a challenge to anyone with mobility issues or heavy/bulky bags. We had a bit of a run in with some hungry mozzies, so pack your insect repellent and shut the windows at dusk.
All in all, a lovely spot, a well appointed home, and an excellent host.
