We spent 6 nights at River Cottage with our 3 kids (8, 5 and 2) and had a wonderful time. The cottage itself had plenty of space for us, and was very comfortable and clean. Rachel and Kane were great hosts, very generous with their time and with homemade treats like milk and yoghurt from the farm. We found plenty of things to do in the area, including 'helping' milk the cows, Maruia Hot Springs, walking along the Lake Daniell track, swimming in the Woolley river, and visiting Reefton. The kids also enjoyed the sandpit and playground at the local school which is only a few minutes drive away.
