Nostalgic Privilege!
280 degree front views of the moana, acres of lush green yonder with hahi, urupā, te waka aa kaihao and peaceful tranquility.
Pickering Cottage stay was clean, with cosy nooks, traditional cuboards and their fittings, slanted walls, drift wood curtain rods and door handles. Traditional side draws and dining furnisher, no wall paper present with my favourite being the wide KAURI floors. WOW!!
Enjoyed the huge washing utility room that housed everything from washing machine, storage, tools; you name it, they have it!! Oh the new renovated area and foyer entry is beautiful. What did we change? We moved the outside chairs and table to the front balcony. Closer to the sea and great korero with the locals.
The Cottage oozed History telling of it's own whakapapa proudly present as photos on it's walls and connections to this whenua.
Ngā mihi nui kia kōrua (owners) THANK YOU.
