We had a lovely stay at Drew and Sally's place.
The cottage is comfortable and warm, with a lot of room, a good kitchen (hot plate, microwave, utensils, etc.), washer/dryer, and books to read. Outside there is a sweet, sunny deck with a table surrounded by plantings that's great for breakfast and tea. Around the corner there is a vegetable garden where Sally encouraged us to pick tomatoes, capsicum, and strawberries. And they have an aviary with endangered NZ species that they are happy to let you sit in to watch the birds.
Sally and Drew were wonderful. They brought fresh eggs every morning and stopped to chat, showed us around the farm, explained how things worked, and were very responsive. We enjoyed getting to know them and the farm!
Nearby there are some good walks at Peal Forest, and if you drive directly south there are deserted beaches to roam on.
Overall, a great place to wind up our trip around the South Island. Highly recommended!
