We stayed only two nights at Rose's cottage on our way out of NZ. Where to start? It's a smart and stylish, tidy restored cottage in a very sweet neighborhood. Rose communicated with us promptly and we were able to check in and out on our own. You can walk around at night, and the park across the street is lovely. It had just the right amount of room for us two and the parking spot right by the sliding doors meant we could get all our filming gear in and out easily. The bed is luxuriously comfy and it's very quiet at night...it is away from the morning construction sounds of the CBD. It has everything you might need, but since we never had time to use the kitchen, entertainment system, or even sit out on the patio in the sun...we would most certainly come back to stay on our next visit to the South Island. Thank you Rose!
