Stayed at timms cottage for 10 weeks from 5th November and loved every minute. We used it as a base, going out for a couple of days travelling around the south island and returning to this beautiful cottage. It is in the centre of the country so perfect to explore the surrounding areas but if you want to just chill out it is so peaceful. The views of the mountains and farm are spectacular. The kitchen is well equipped with ample cooking equipment and lots of condiments. Sharon is the perfect host. Don't forget to visit fairlie bakehouse.
