This is a very unique, one-of-a-kind Airbnb. The cottage is literally “Off-the-Grid”, using only solar power. It is quite remote (22k from Twizel), but in an enchanting location on a lake with a beautiful view of Mount Cook. Sonja was a delightful host, preparing a fire in the cast-iron stove for us before arrival, and she brought us milk, bread, and fresh eggs in the morning which were delicious! The sunrise with Mount Cook in the background is something everyone must see before they die. Surrounded by cows and sheep on the 11,000 acre farm, we felt like we experienced life as a true rural Kiwi for a day. Kitchen was well stocked and we were able to cook a lovely dinner. The beds were extremely comfortable, with high-quality pillows and linens. It was dark and extremely quiet so we had the best sleep ever. Would have stayed longer if we could have!
