The cottage is beautiful inside and outside, stepping back in time. We wanted to experience great fishing, beautiful enviroment, rest and just relax .. we had it all and more, it was one of our best 8 day breaks in many years. Do go for a meal at the Waikaia Hotel and Cafe, make an effort to travel to Piano flat and over to Waikaka on the dirt road. Stunning! We can highly recommend, it was a wonderful experience, great property to explore from a large area of the Southland. Thank you Kelly, it was great.
