Best stay of our trip

This property was by far the best place we stayed in our trip to New Zealand! As soon as we walked in we fell in love with everything about it. It is very well appointed. We had planned to eat out but decided to get takeout so we could eat in the room. Thanks for the home made buns and bread!

Cute cottage with everything you need

Host was lovely, and thoughtful home baking awaited us! Perfect little getaway. Would not recommend for little kids due to unsafe mezzanine sleeping… our 7 and 9 Y ended up on the couch.
