This is a lovely, spacious and meticulous cottage behind the main house. There is a pretty garden and the walking trail to Waikanae Beach and The Scientific Nature Reserve is right behind the house. The hosts met us when we arrived to see if we needed anything. They are very friendly and gave us great info on local hikes, activities, and restaurants. I highly recommend this cottage!

Lovely hosts with gorgeous pets. The sheep in particular have a beautiful story. The place is stunning, private and romantic. The bed and the sheets felt like we were in heaven. The welcome treats were appreciated and the breakfast was so yum. My partner and I said we'd never tasted croissants that good, or butter!
