We loved loved loved staying here. It is the most beautiful property that we've had the good fortune to stay at. The views are absolutely stunning from the cottage: overlooking the river and green rolling hills dotted with grazing sheep in the distance. This property can be a destination in and of itself. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous: many flowers and fruit trees surrounded us. Ducks & other birds wandered about.
Our cottage was huge: so much space! The living room had floor to ceiling windows that let in plenty of sunshine and allowed us to enjoy the views from the comfort of the sofa. They provided soft bathrobes in the master bedroom closet. There was also a washer/dryer in the unit, along with detergent.
They left breakfast on our kitchen counter each evening. It was quite generous: cereals, toast, yogurt parfaits, orange juice, huge fruit plate, fresh eggs, salami & cheese, muffins, tea, coffee & milk. Our cottage had a full kitchen with every little detail thought of. We wanted for nothing.
Our hosts were incredibly informative and welcoming. The gave us lots of information about the area. They assisted us in booking a boat out on the Bay of Islands.
I wish we could have stayed here much longer. This was by far our favorite place that we've stayed at during our travels. I would definitely stay here again and I would highly recommend it to all our friends & family.
