I loved it so much I ended up extending my stay!The cottage was clean and filled with lots of lovely touches. The setting is beautiful and relaxing - it's surrounded by trees and garden, with views out to Stanmore Bay. Although it sits on the same site as the owners' house, it's very private. The only word of warning I have about the location is that people with mobility issues could find the little walkway to the cottage challenging; it's fine for most people, but some would struggle with it.Host Gay was very pleasant and easy to deal with. Thank you, Gay - I hope to return to Rosie's soon! ##### kirsten k.

What a perfect finale to a lovely trip! The cottage was great for the two of us. Cozy, fun and well-equipped. Stanmore Beach is great and only a short walk away. But it was mostly the hospitality which Gay and Jon provided us which made our stay so special. For us it was like visiting old friends we had just met. If we get back to New Zealand we will make every effort to return to Rosie's Cottage. ##### Stan O.

We thoroughly enjoyed the layout and style of this lovely space that had clearly been created with love and care by the hosts. The cottage has kept its history and charm and is surrounded by a cute and cosy garden which makes it feel surprisingly peaceful and private. We had everything provided to us that we could possibly need - and more - including lovely fresh flowers and some treats. Personally I felt that staying here was our special little treat.
