We stayed here to visit My Cook on the way from Queenstown to Christchurch. The house is in a quiet neighbourhood about 3 a 3 minute drive to the shops, cafes and garage.
It's well appointed with plenty of space. The kitchen had everything needed to cook at home, which we did each night, having lunch out.
The beds are comfy and all have electric blankets if needed. We did wake up to snow on our last morning.
Mt Cook is about an hours easy drive away. We did the Hooker Lake walk which was fairly easy with great views. We did dip in the lake for a minute or two but it's flippin cold. Day two we went up Ben Ohua which again was ok up and down. Fantastic views of surroundings.
Check in and out was very easy and Amy was great when we left the house keys locked in the house.
Stay at least two nights of you can to get the most out of the area.
