We loved our 8-night stay at Kuku Cottage--it was a charming, surprisingly commodious, and very well provisioned home made all the more welcoming by the many personal touches, such as a wide-ranging collection of books for the perusal and reading pleasure of cottage guests. The home has an indefinable welcoming "feel" and the layout of the house with three bedrooms opening onto the common area comprising an open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, together with an additional bedroom and bathroom in a separate attached room off the back porch, made for an excellent gathering spot for our reunion of 6 friends from the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand who were getting together for the first time in 4 years to celebrate a "milestone" birthday for one of us.
With huge thanks to Rob and Fiona for making Kuku Cottage such a comfortable and welcoming retreat for those wishing to stay in the Hawkes Bay area.
