The Country Cottage was a fantastic place to stay. Very homely, clean and well set out with a beatiful log fire place, patio area with seating and BBQ, as well as a full kitchen. There was also a washing machine and dryer and TV with small DVD library. We were greeted by a personalised welcome note, eggs, milk and chocolates and background music on and Debbie came to make sure we had everything we needed and was very helpful! A car is probably necessary but it suited us perfectly with undercover parking just outside the door and Hokitika just 15 mins away. Would definitely go back!!
