The cottage is really comfy. It's located at a private spot with easy access. It was very easy to get in with Lesley's instructions. Once inside, we felt like we are in a family home with enough space to accommodate us. All amenities are as described and we only needed to bring our food, everything else was there. There are nice beaches nearby and Hawera is just 20 minutes drive. At night, we could do star gazing, which was awesome. If we ever visited Taranaki again and needed privacy, we will stay there again.
