My husband had to drag me away from this beautiful place! The cottage was so comfortable and well-equipped for all our needs, so much so that we cooked in all 3 nights and ate dinner in front of a roaring log fire! There's also some really interesting books about the area to look at. An early morning cuppa on the seat in the garden, overlooking the mountains and the lambs, couldn't have tasted better! Shaun popped round with cold beers one evening and we enjoyed hearing about some of his adventures and life in this area and beyond - a really interesting guy. We met Spike the deer in a field up the road and enjoyed some walks alongside the river and Lake. A lovely peaceful village (with it's own small store, cafe and restaurant) but easy access to Te Anau and the Sounds. We drove up to Milford which was lovely but the Doubtful Sound boats leave from the river just below the cottage. Thank you so much Shaun for a great stay.
