We loved our stay here! The cottage is very unique, and we felt very at home in the space. It’s cosy and artistic, with lots of thoughtful touches. The fresh flower bouquets were so gorgeous. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, and the shower was the best we have been in all trip. Lots of water pressure and flow. The beach is nearby and great for Long Beach walks. Take note that the only store in waimaramara is closed Monday and Tuesday, so buy your food in Hastings before heading out there. We had an excellent time here and would definitely stay again.
