More like being lent a friend's home than being in a holiday let - Palm Cottage is exceptional quality accommodation. Everything we could possibly need - and in a beautiful location. We only stayed two days - but would have liked to stay longer. There is a little pathway at the end of Mary Hassett street down to Mill Bay - with the famous Mangonui fish and chip shop a short walk away towards the harbour. Lots of heritage houses to see in the town and the fascinating Butler Point whaling museum and gardens are close by.
