I didn't meet Pauline but she sent me detailed instructions about getting access to the cottage which was great. Her caretaker was also very helpful when we arrived.
The Cottage is very quaint and clean with lots of interesting art on the walls. We stayed for one night in mid winter and it was very warm and cozy and just a short walk into town. (There are some great cafes and restaurants in Arrowtown if you want to eat out).
