We had a great stay at the cottage. Michelle and Jim were kind enough to let us check in a bit early as we we're trying to get in before cyclone gita came through! Even though we were rained out the couple days we were there, we still had a great stay. The bed was super comfortable and the cottage had everything we needed. We were thankful for the smart tv since it was rainy. We made it up to mount cook the day we left and the weather cleared up beautifully. The silver lining was the snow capped peaks we got to see from the cottage from the weather. The cottage has amazing views! Michelle and Jim had great communication and were very friendly!
