This property is super quiet and private, with its own little herb garden - just perfect for whipping up some cheese and herb scones in the bench-top oven. Only a few minutes from the beach, and also really accessibly to a cute walking path by the school that goes through bush up to the Anglican churchyard and cemetery. The dining table, sitting room, verandah and garden provide lots of options to enjoy a cuppa in a patch of sunshine, with enough lawn for the kids to enjoy some volleyball and badminton (brought with us).A great selection of books (5 stars for the library alone!) and DVDs. Lindsey was super communicative and Tree Cottage has everything you need for a true kiwi crib/bach beach holiday. We're already planning our next stay!
