The location is beautiful and really peaceful, yet the cottage is only about 10 minutes drive from Havelock North. The garden is lovely and a great spot for relaxing. Our stay was for two adult couples and one dog and the cottage was spacious enough to accommodate us easily. ##### Helen B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ---
