Our stay at Catherine's cottage was our favorite Air BnB stay on our trip throughout New Zealand! She is such a warm and generous host, available if you need anything. The fresh eggs and milk (even a few quail eggs!) were such a treat every morning. The beauty of the surrounding scenery was astounding. We took a day trip to Milford Sound, which is definitely worth the trip! We used the BBQ to grill steak, Mike jammed with the guitar and we watched the sunrise every morning. The cottage is off the beaten path but a nice distance from Te Anau if you need to go in for groceries or a bite. Her pup Moss visited us a few times during our stay.
I highly recommend staying here for your South Island adventure!!
