If you want a perfect mix of off-the-grid relaxation and scenic daytrips, the Dunstan cabin is the perfect spot. It's tiny and has the basics of everything you need — plus THAT bath. After a warm welcome by Harry the huntaway, we were blown away by the stunning view at the top of the stairs. The cosy cabin can get quite warm on a summer day but airs out rapidly in the evening breeze. Super comfortable bed, almost too comfortable because we ended up sleeping in most mornings! There's also plenty of storage for luggage.
Wanaka is within easy distance, and we daytripped to Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park via the Clay Cliffs of Omarama (super cool) as well. The Cromwell Sunday market and Cloudy Bay Shed are also a must! Thanks Richie and Cynarra for making our honeymoon a memorable one (:
