This property is exactly how it is described online - a holiday cottage on the shores of the Tasman Sea. The host is done a fantastic job of turning the inside into a comfortable, welcoming space. I was particularly surprised by the high ceilings which made the cottage feel very open. The building itself is quite old so it has the typical New Zealand features of old windows and little insulation / soundproofing but it didn't impact our stay because of the improvements inside as mentioned. Graeme was quick to respond to any requests and his neighbor Clare was a delight to talk to. I would definitely stay here again.
