Evan and Karen provide a wonderfully unique cottage stay on their property in Otane. We were welcomed and shown the cottage and told with such a friendly insistence that we were there to relax and if we needed anything, to just ask. The cottage is a delight, and the garden a beautiful place to relax. The thoughtful touches of quality coffee and teas, cereal and bread etc. were lovely. Being able to bring our dog was the icing on the cake. I would highly recommend staying here. It's a lovely spot and makes for a great weekend away and is within easy reach of Napier/Hastings.
