I’m writing this review fresh out of a wonderful stay at Bridget & Luke’s cottage. This was a wonderful way to kickstart my holiday in NZ and settle comfortably into a new country.
In terms of location, this is incredibly central and you will find main attractions (central square, art gallery) and things you might require for convenience (e.g. supermarket, library) within walking distance. Alternatively, you could get a Lime scooter as there are heaps of those scattered around the neighbourhood. Otherwise, Bridget & Luke have a few bikes at the cottage that they allow guests to use. Very easy to get from A to B.
Kaewa Cottage is styled to perfection (this was a huge part of the initial appeal for me). It has a vibrant and funky-fresh feel to it whilst also being comfortable and homely.
The room itself is very cosy, with lux bedding (lovely linen and an electric blanket). There are plenty of books and magazines for your perusal. Also within the room is a jug of water so you won’t find yourself parched in the night time. 😋
Provided for the stay were essentials to kickstart start the day (muesli, milk, tea, coffee, hot chocolate) as well as access to the kitchen and cooking utilities. Also provided was waste free shampoo and conditioner ~ a cute little eco-friendly extra which I appreciated.
Bridget & Luke themselves were very welcoming and accomodating. They gave me some recommendations for my onwards travel and spoke to me about the magic of the South Island that awaits. Luke pointed me in the right direction with seeking out a van for my travels - which was very helpful. Both Bridget & Luke are very willing to help out with any requests or queries.
I felt very comfortable in this space and would definitely recommend this listing to friends and family.
Whilst here I had many moments where I thought “I could really live here myself!!” 😍
🙏 Thank you for having me. X
