If you need a layover in Lewis Pass: this is it. With ear plugs. Nice house with full kitchen, washing aching (line out back to dry) and adorable sheep nearby. The beds and pillows are soft, so I did some yoga to realign my back before jumping back in the car for more touring. Can't beat the view from the kitchen window while you do dishes. And the stars dance in the lack of light pollution in the pass. Big enough to enjoy with the family.
