Communication with the owner was fabulous. Clean instructions. The view is great. The historic ready material. It was like a traditional NZ crib, but we'll equipped and comfy.

“Cut, cosy hideaway”
Cute, private little cottage at the right end of town. Not too far to drive to the centre of town and to talk around a score of interesting buildings. This little cottage was perfect for a good sleep, shower and cup of tea. A nice view out over the harbor.

Gorgeous views, the cottage felt like it was secluded and was nice and cozy. The bathroom was very chilly at first, but we found a small heater that soon warmed it up nicely.
