This is a simple cottage thoughtfully fitted out with comfort in mind.
Bed & pillows very comfortable with extra blankets etc in the wardrobe.
Shower works well - strong water pressure & plenty of hot water.
Kitchen well stocked with high quality dairy (Lewis Rd milk & butter, Kapiti yoghurt), tasty granola, Vogels bread, jam, honey, peanut butter, fruit.
The cottage is set in a garden area away from the homestead, pleasantly private. Noise from the SH1 Expressway & railway line was evident & did interrupt my sleep the one night I left windows open - closing windows & drawing curtains sufficiently drops the dB level. This was the only factor preventing me awarding a top score for my stay & is clearly beyond the control of the owner who seems to have done a lot to maximise guest comfort.
The cottage has a small verandah with table & chairs which provides a lovely outdoor space out of the weather. Firewood was provided for a brazier on the lawn in front of the cottage.
