Te Manaaki Cottage is situated in a quiet garden setting, with great views over the village and bay, and is only a 3 minute walk to the shops, cafes, restaurants and waterfront. Beaches are only a short walk away. The sundeck and barbecue area is a great place for a drink and evening meal while you enjoy the often stunning sunsets. The historic Christ Church is nearby, making the villa ideal accommodation for members of wedding parties or their guests.
