Tawhiri Cottage had everything we wanted - spacious, homely, clean and tidy, private, and did I say spacious? We would like to go back there to stay again, probably for longer. Ross is an excellent host - great communication, friendly, welcoming, and has good local knowledge to share.
Note that you can hear trucks drive past occasionally as well as an overnight freight train, but this didn't really bother us and it is still good value for money.
