We had an amazing stay at the Karaka Cottage. The cottage itself is immaculate. We were only there for 3 days and 2 nights, and it honestly wasn't enough. When we come back to New Zealand, this will be the first place on our list to book. There was so much natural beauty surrounding the cottage that it made it hard to leave, however, there are so many things to do in the surrounding area we had to try out a few local things too while we had time. My favorite thing to do was hike up by the water tanks where there is this beautiful view of the Tukituki River at dusk, and we also loved watching the sheep when they were hanging around just outside the backdoor. Please, if you're looking into this place, don't hesitate to book, you'll absolutely love it.
