Carolin and Jarrah have gone out of their way to create a wonderful place to stay. There are great little touches to show they really want guests to be comfortable and happy - a big bowl of ice in the freezer, solar lights in the garden for those who stay in the outside room are just a couple of examples. We were fortunate to have a beautiful sunny day for our trip to Doubtful Sound. We were so relieved to be able to walk home and have a gin and tonic (thank you for that ice) rather than everyone else who had a coach trip to Te Anau or Queenstown. Remember to stock up on supplies in Te Anau before you arrive and then settle in for a cosy stay. The mornings were chilly when we were there but the gorgeous fireplace soon had things warmed up and there are heaters too.
It's very well named as Welcome Home Cottage as it really did feel like home and we were sad to only have two nights there. We'd definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone who wants something with character and charm.
