Nice, but alot could be done to improve the experience!
Pros:

The cottage itself was lovely and had good provision.
Jacuzzi bath was nice after long days walking.

Cons:

We have travelled around New Zealand for 3 weeks staying at various places and found the breakfast here poor when compared to other (cheaper!) places. Flies sitting on alot of food was very off putting and the cheese on offer one morning had clearly been brought out from previous day as it was extremely dried up. The fact that you had to pay for anything cooked was very disappointing when this has been offered everywhere else we have stayed,even when it was to order off a menu.
Bed rather uncomfortable with lumpy ridge in the middle due to two single mattresses joined together. Our worst night sleep this holiday because of this.

Disappointing.
Pros:

Size of the room

Cons:

The room is full of flies! None of the doors and windows have flyscreen. Anytime you want some fresh air, you got flies.
The pictures on the website do not match reality, the only view I got was the neighour's driveway, no privacy whatsoever.

Pros:

Quiet and beautiful place to unwind. On our arrival, there was a lovely note wishing us well for our anniversary, which was a thoughtful touch. We ordered a bottle of celebratory wine, and they surprised us with a complimentary cheese board. It made the experience even more special.

We will be back!
Pros:

The cottage was cosy, clean, modern and had everything we needed. Quiet. The bar and restaurant were great. Dinner was very good.

Cons:

Unit 7. The outdoor table has seen better days. The whole unit is quite dark due to the tree growth. Maybe time for a trim back.
