The cottage is a pleasure to stay in, it feels like home with lots of interesting art and other decor, very comfortable, stunning views and really helpful hosts. When I arrived there was music playing and a lamp on, which felt really welcoming. The night sky is spectacular, and the only sound at night is the local frogs! There are lots of walks and places to visit nearby, eg Mt Cook, and it's close enough to Twizel to make shopping, coffees etc easy. I 100% recommend this place.
