Birdswood Cottage was a lovely place to stay, very private, comfy and cosy for a relaxing stay. Emma was a fantastic host, and the fresh croissants, eggs and other basics were a really nice touch. The location was ideal for us, out in the countryside but a quick drive or an hour walk along the Arrow River trail to Arrowtown. Also easy access to the Crown Range for a visit to Wanaka and the Cardrona pub, and the Gibbston Valley. We even jumped onto the Arrow River trail to walk to Gibbston Valley for an afternoon of wine tasting! Would highly recommend.
