From the moment we stepped out of our car, Jessie was the consummate hostess. She graciously let us check in early so we could get laundry started before heading out for further activities that required daylight. We got a little tour of the cute cottage, some recommendations for our half day trip to Milford sound, and an invitation to meet the alpacas when we had time. Laundry on site including dryer was a huge benefit. Everything was tastefully appointed and cozy. The alpaca throws kept us very snug at night. We enjoyed a wonderful soak in the hot tub and star gazed whilst we did so (phenomenal stargazing!). The bed is on the firmer side for my admittedly extreme taste (I prefer very soft beds), but not so firm that we were uncomfortable; we slept well. Just sharing in case others need to gauge the mattress firmness; I'd describe it as a medium firm.
Cherry on top was meeting & learning about their alpacas and being able to bring home a throw made from the wool sold in their shop.
