Don't let the apparent isolation and 45km of gravel road put you off staying at this marvelous place. Located on Glenfalloch Station at the end of Double Hill Road, this one bedroom cottage is situated above the Rakaia River. The quiet is total, the stars beyond count and the mountain and river views are extraordinary.
The cottage itself is clean, warm and cosy, beautifully decorated and with every convenience necessary for a self contained stay. There are plenty of places to walk on this huge station and no shortage of hills to climb. You do need to bring everything you need as it is a longish haul to Methven if you have forgotten your toothbrush.
Most surprising was the excellent internet and the phone connection was better than Auckland. The tasty welcoming food was really appreciated.
