We had a fabulous stay at Cricklewood Cottage! About a 40 minute drive from Lake Tekapo and 10 minutes from Fairlie, this is a peaceful, quiet place to relax, recharge, and take in the stars in this beautiful dark sky area. The cottage is cozy and absolutely charming. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. The bed is large and comfortable, equipped with a mattress-sized heating pad for cool nights. We loved the cozy fireplace - it was easy to light and warmed the space wonderfully. The resident horses, dogs, and sheep are a lovely bonus for animal-lovers. We would come back in a heartbeat!
