The Smithfield Cottage was an incredible place to stay! Jo and her husband were very friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay excellent. The grounds are immaculate (think beautiful roses growing right outside the window and rolling lawns) and the cottage was so comfortable and clean. Me and my friends were just stopping in on our way to Mt. Cook, but all wished we had a couple extra days. Even if it’s a little bit out of the way from where you’re looking to book, it’s definitely worth it. It’s an amazing place.
