This cottage was such a delight. It looks exactly as pictured and Victoria could not have been a more hospitable host. It’s in a great location. Only a 10 minute drive from the city center with bus stops and car rentals, a 5 minute walk from a local grocery store, and it’s very close to many tourists attractions like the thermal pools (35 minute drive), the canopy tour and the skyline gondola ( both 5 minute drives) and the Tamaki Maori Village cultural experience has a pickup less than a 2 minute walk from the property. I definitely recommend staying here. It really felt like a home away from home.
