We really enjoyed our stay at Big Sky Cottage. It’s an interesting example of a rural NZ Art Deco bungalow, and we appreciated how thoughtfully the decor complemented the style of the house. The lighting options (plenty of warm lamps) and the log burner made our stay extra cosy. It’s right on the rail trail, and it was a relief to have a cosy house to come back to after a rainy afternoon on the trail. Celia was very communicative and ready to help in case there were any issues, but we didn’t have any need to contact her. We would definitely stay there again.
