Michael's cottage was an absolute dream! Cooking dinner on his wood stove was a nice reward after a long drive in from Christchurch. Not to mention his selection of fresh produce from his garden! Also, his reviews about the surrounding attractions was an added benefit. To top it all off I had the privilege of sharing a coffee and a lively conversation with Michael before setting off on my travels the next morning! Would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a unique experience from a truly gracious host.
