This place is on a real sheep and cattle farm, but the cottage is so clean and comfortable and well-loved that it doesn’t feel like a farmhouse. The bed is one of the most comfortable I have slept in. The main bedroom has windows on two corners that look right out onto a pretty well maintained garden and patio, with darmland in the background. We went to the Mt John observatory tour but the stars and Milky Way that were visible from the parking area in front of the cottage easily rivaled the dark sky preserve.
