Wow! If you are lucky enough to stay at this place do it! My sister and I truly enjoyed our stay here in this gorgeous location in Awaroa. The cottage was wonderful and they provided all the basic necessities for us. The location alone is magical but Elva and Geoff made it even better. They are extremely thoughtful and very informed / familiar with the area. They know just about everyone including Jill the manager from the Lodge. They invited us over for dinner one night and Elva made us some roasted lamb and vegetables and a chocolate banana cake for dessert. They always made sure we had what we needed and answered any questions we had. Highly recommend. Probably our favorite stay during our trip around the South Island!
