* * * Kind words from our guests * * * Katherine. ''We fell in love with the cottage before we even stepped inside. Once inside we fell even more in love. The cottage was beautifully appointed with everything you need for a short or longer stay. The backdrop was incredible with views across the bay. Location was fantastic.''
Ken R. ''We loved our time here. Six days was not enough. Great view. Fully equipped, and amazing hosts. Looking forward to coming back.''
Kiwitraveller The cottage is wonderfully located and tranquil with a lovely in and out flow. Everything you need for a relaxed holiday including kayaks for the water. Very nice welcome basket as well as a good vegetable plot to use. Highly recommend staying at the cottage.
Greg The property is in an amazing location, so nice to wake up to sunrise over the estuary. Super clean, neat and tidy. Wonderful accommodating hosts. Couldn't ask for more
