If you are looking for a quiet spot with an unbelievably amazing view this is it. Pete and Janine rent a couple little cottages and some rooms at their farm. We rented “the barn” with two bedrooms, a bathroom, small kitchen and sitting room. There was also an outdoor patio with a couch and table where we sat and looked out over the sheep and river to the Southern Alps. Best view in a 3 week trip! Pete left fresh eggs and toast, yogurt and fruit for b’fast. There are no other houses or lights in sight, star viewing was crystal clear. Beds were comfy and plenty of hot water. This is a rustic spot, not a fancy place, very laid back. Lots of great hiking books and info around the cottage. Perfect stop on the way from Queenstown or Milford to Haast or the glaciers.
