Really cute cottage perfect for our hiking trip. Clean, neat & tidy, and really great to have a full kitchen and laundry facilities. Loved the verandah out the front. Being able to sit out there in a lovely country town with a cup of tea after a long day hiking watching the world go by was the perfect end to the day. Lovely and quiet which was appreciated coming from big city dwellers. Highly recommend this place.
