The Velvet Cottage is in a great location, close to restaurants and cafes near Hutt Street. It was super clean, aesthetically pleasing and had everything I needed. I highly recommend this cute little cottage.
Great little house. Very clean. Everything provided and super close to restaurants, supermarket & St Andrew’s Hospital. A little inconvenient with roadworks happening immediately outside the house but unfortunate we happened to book right when work was in progress. Recommend this accommodation.
