We had the best sleep for a long time. The cottage was cozy and comfortable, it was so quiet, surrounded by mountains. It was so peaceful. I did worry it may he cold for me but it was not, the bathroom has heater too. The bathroom and kitchen are like brand new. Everything is super clean and comfortable. 15-min Drive from Road 1 is well worth it, especially you want to experience NZ and be away from people and vehicles, any noise. We got an amazing pic of the starry light (no light pollution). The host is super super responsive and helpful!!!! We had no issues, finding the cottage and checking in. We had the perfect rest and ended up hanging around for the whole morning, enjoying the nature.
