We spent one night here to break the drive between Hokitika and Wanaka, and visited the Franz Josef Glacier the next morning. (Due to climate change, it is receding fast, see it now!)
The cottage is tastefully assembled and still feels new. The front deck faces peacefully grazing farm animals with a view to the mountains. This is a lovely spot to sip wine and watch the setting sun transform the sky.
In pictures the two cottages might look side-by-side but in reality one is actually set slightly back from the other, so you do have some privacy. A couple had booked the other cottage and apart from their car pulling in and out of the driveway, we didn't hear a thing.
There was also less road noise than we expected for the cottage being located just off the main highway; the area gets pretty quiet at night.
We found the bed to be medium firm, comfortable and fitted with quality linens. The kitchen isn't set up for heavy cooking so try to keep recipes simple. We used the electric frypan to grill some lamb sausages and paired that with microwaved sweet potatoes. Delicious!
