This was the perfect location to stay ahead of our trip to Milford Sound. It’s just under 2 hours to the sound so we were able to beat all the tour busses driving down from Queenstown. The cottage itself is spacious, clean, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed to cook two dinners for ourselves. It even has AC and a washer and dryer! We didn’t need the AC but it was nice to know it was there. The views are great and the whole area is really peaceful, especially compared to the business of Milford.
The highlight for us was getting to participate in the 5:30 alpaca feeding! Try to make sure you can be there for this- it’s so fun and special and we learned a lot about alpacas. The background to feeding them are stunning hazy mountains in the distance. I highly recommend this stay to anyone!
