Had an absolutely lovely stay in this beautiful wee cottage. Quiet, comfortable and cosy set in a gorgeous rural garden. We were well catered for by our super hosts. I particularly enjoyed the sense of history and enjoyed the books on some of the iconic stations in the area. There are some fantastic backcountry drives from here into Hakatere conservation area, Erewhon, Lake Heron etc. where there is plenty of hiking available. We found Mt Somers a convenient spot to stay to be out of the city but still within easy reach of Christchurch airport. Thankyou so much Frances and Donal 😊
