This is a fantastic home to stay at – comfortable, cozy and conveniently located for a number of walks in the beautiful Karangahake Gorge (do not miss the Windows Walk). The garden is stunning and so is the view to the mountain from the terrace, which is a perfect place to have your coffee in the morning. Loads of information about the area and local history are provided by the host. Nigel is very kind and helpful, and definitely has a lot to say but is not intrusive.
The cottage is stylish, spotlessly clean, and perfectly served all three of us. The beds are comfy, the bathroom is very good, the kitchen is well equipped, and the AC works excellent so we were warm and comfortable all the time. Take your own food as only butter, margarine, jam, and a small bottle of milk are provided for breakfast (not even bread). We had no problem with this but someone else may find themselves unprepared.
