This was such an amazing stay. The cottage is beautifully perched on the hillside looking down the valley, surrounded by lush forest. The birdsong and flowing river nearby are music to the ears, while the scenery and well-maintained garden are a treat for the eyes. Not too far from Carterton, but I would recommend getting groceries before heading to the cottage - mostly because once you arrive, you won't want to leave. The fire was super cosy and heats the cottage quickly and well. The peace and quiet was so perfect that we're already making plans to head back for a longer stay. Thanks very much!
