This little cottage was everythingwe expected it to be. it was stylish, quirky and most importantly it was in the middle of Paradise.
The cottage was comfortable and cosy with a great bed. there was all essentials in the kitchen so we could prepare our own meals etc..
the 360° view was simply breathtaking, the sound of the stream flowing just outside the cottage, the wild blooms, the many different varieties of birds was a pleasant sight and a great experience for us.
There is a few great walks just a few meters away from the cottage, we did the packhorse track which took us about 3.5 hours return as we took it quite slow was amazing, we passed many little streams, sheep, cows, hedgehogs, beautiful birds and a variety of native plants and trees. and we were rewarded with amazing view right at the top.
we would highly recommend this cottage as it was a peaceful, this place felt like it was cut off from the rest of the world but actually only about a 40 minute drive away from Christchurch.
our host was very pleasant and helpful. the kitchen was equipped with not only the essentials but also home made jam, honey from garden beed, milk, eggs and more.
