We picked this cottage for the first part of our trip. Location wise its in a great spot on the island. Isolated in the right ways and cozy, you can hear the birds singing in the morning and the rainfall at night puts you to sleep. It appears to be more off grid than the south side of the island and it was cool to experience a non touristy area. Location was convenient when we explored the island it was nice how close it was to get back. You wont have data but thankfully in the cottage you have wifi and you can log into your accounts on their apple tv app to watch netflix etc. My boyfriend said the cottage was his favorite stay so far!! Again i loved the location, the beavh was not too far away and it was close to Paia and some surfing beaches with seals and turtles galore!!! You'll love this spot.
