I have to agree with all the previous reviews about this cottage that it is conveniently located.
I walked to the Riverside Pool from the cottage within minutes and was able to take some water aerobics classes on a casual basis. Tahunanui Beach is only a short drive or bike ride away as are all the shops and supermarkets.
Just across the road is a dairy and takeaways, also convenient! Plus the Sprig and Fern which others have mentioned.
I loved having a washing machine and a backyard clothes line along with a clothes rack in case it rains. The backyard garden is really lovely to sit in the sun and relax. The neighbours I met were all nice, friendly but not intrusive.
Inside it really feels like a home and was very cosy even on a chilly morning. Communication with Roz was clear and prompt when needed. I would definitely stay again.
