The cottage had some of the best views we have experienced in NZ. From the deck we could see over to the township and mountains and from the garden we could enjoy the view over the river. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and also had lots of snacks and goodies. The lounge area was comfortable and felt home like. The bedroom was large and nicely decorated and had good linens and pillows. Overall, everything was clean and tidy and we had everything we needed.
