I had a wonderful 5 days at Anne and Steve's place. Kawarau Cottage is in the most beautiful and peaceful setting and I really did not want to leave. Very comfortable, great for just lounging around inside or out, or heading out to explore countryside and wineries, farmers market etc. Very close to historic reserve with walking and biking tracks. Great having a kitchen to use for lazing around days. Thoughtful touches like a lovely bottle of pinot noir rose from the winery across the road, chocolates and toiletries waiting for me. Lovely dog!
