A perfect deck to hang out and the bbq was a great bonus. If there is one thing to comment on, it would be the size of the bathroom. It is on the small size but totally sufficient. We loved the friendly dogs. The location was perfect for us to visit the wineries and Havelock. All just a short drive away. The spot is nicely set back in the valley away from the buzz. ##### Tinta T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lee G. 11 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing as (and very cute) We loved the quiet country setting, getting very good nights' sleep in this cosy and chic little cottage.

Splendid location. Exceptional accommodation in a most peaceful setting. Sue coped especially well with the shock of our arrival as Bookabach’s confirmation of our booking had not been received!
