Mar 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Could’ve stayed longer! An absolutely delightful wee cottage! We had booked for two nights but wished we’d had longer. The cottage was extremely clean, well appointed and equipped (including dishwasher, washing machine and barbecue) - literally everything you need. You could easily stay here for a week - or more! And less than 5mins walk to the Mapua Wharf restaurants and shops etc. The cottage is tucked away among the trees but not completely without a view (it is up a slight rise) and still very light and sunny. The outdoor seating area is perfect for an alfresco breakfast, lunch or dinner (particularly lovely in the afternoon with a glass of Rose!). A perfect spot for a peaceful ‘Escape’! Thank you. ##### Trudi H. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### colin and vicki d.
