The cottage was exactly as described, our little slice of paradise!

Upon arrival, Jim kindly took some time to show us around the property, and even let us feed the sheep in his backyard. We had originally planned to arrive later in the evening as Twizel is a rather quiet town, but were glad we arrived early enough to catch the unobstructed views of the mountains from his backyard. The backyard would've been perfect for stargazing, but it was a pity the night sky got a little cloudy and we didn't get to see the stars. That said, even without the stars, we loved our stay at the cottage !
