I stayed here for a week and this was the absolute highlight of my New Zealand trip. It’s a truly magical place with stunning views of the countryside. Pip and her family are the nicest and most generous people I’ve met on my travels and I’m certain I’ll visit them again. I highly recommend staying with them if you’re looking for something off the beaten track...a peaceful stay in the countryside. While there is a shop & a cafe a short 20 minute walk away it’s mostly a quiet residential area with a few homes. For cafes and supermarket you need to get to Wanaka and for that it’s better to have your own vehicle. The cottage is small but it was perfect for me. The kitchen and washrooms are in the main house but it wasn’t any trouble to access them. It was mushroom season so Fin & Pip cooked generous amounts of mushroom soup and shared with me and it was delicious! Just can’t wait to come back! Thanks Pip & Fin & Min!
