The cottage was totally lovely, nothing had been too modernised, no character lost—the floors and windows were beautiful, the wood stove super-charming. Though it's on Michelle's property, and her house is just below, the landscaping and grounds layout are such that you have pretty much total privacy. The sun pours in through lovely French doors; there's a bonus terrace out the back of the cottage with a big weber BBQ. The bed is quality and comfortable. Michelle left us a welcome hamper and the adorable corner kitchen was otherwise very well stocked. The views are beyond perfect, over Oneroa Beach and north-west facing for ideal sunsets.
