I brought my niece to New Zealand as a graduation gift to her as she was in the top of her class! Stayed in Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown. I really enjoyed this cottage and the location is wonderful too! Excellent restaurants and a grocery store called New World within walking distance. Highly recommend the Botanic Gardens, it's FREE! Vicky also does tours to Mt Hutt and many more local tours, where the bus can't go! Inquire within, she's wonderful and very hospitable! I really loved her cats on the property as well, especially Sylvester! A very handsome tux black and white male cat :) The shower and bathroom is amazing and I loved the cottage/cabin home feel. I definitely felt at home. Beautiful back yard with lots of nature!
