Our stay at the cottage made for the perfect start to our roadtrip from Christchurch to Queenstown. Sitting next to a beautiful pond surrounded by lush green and the red ochres of autumn, we were welcomed to the cottage by a gaggle of friendly ducks – it was a truly picturesque sight to wake up to and my only regret is that we didn't stay longer. Both Carol and Donald made our stay super easy and comfortable, with Donald giving us a bonus intro to his beautiful collection of classic cars. The cottage is a destination in itself and we'd love to visit again in the future. Thank you, Carol and Donald!
