The Mararoa Cottage is a delightful, cozy stay in a truly beautiful part of the world. Communication was smooth and easy, and Catherine, her daughter, and Moss (the friendly dog) greeted us shortly after we arrived and even introduced us to the sheep. The space is warm, private, and nicely appointed, and we especially loved the stunning view out over the valley and all the wonderful, hand-drawn maps and recommendations that helped us feel like we got a bit off the beaten track during our stay.
